Study of Environments for Planet Formation

Our research focused on two topics. Lisa Prato investigated, as part of her PhD thesis research, the astrophysics of the spatially resolved components of young star binaries. Prato successfully defended her thesis research in August, 1998; Section 2 summarizes the part of her work supported by the Origins of Solar Systems Program. In the second year of the project, graduate student Tracy Beck began a study of structural inhomogeneities in the circumstellar disks of binaries that include an IR-luminous companion. Section 3 summarizes the results to date.
