Abstract

We review the evidence pertaining to the lifetimes of planet-forming disks and discuss possible disk dispersal mechanisms: 1) viscous accretion of material onto the central source, 2) close stellar encounters, 3) stellar winds, and 4) photoevaporation by ultraviolet radiation.

(abstract) Circumstellar Molecular Gas of the HH 1-2 and HH 24 Exciting Stars

13 CO and C 18 O observations of HH 1-2 VLA and SSV 63, the exciting stars of the HH 1-2 and HH 24 outflows, have been obtained with the Owens Valley Millimeter Array. The HH 1-2 source has been detected in both lines and in the 2.7 mm continuum. In the continuum, the central source appears unresolved in the 5" beam with a flux density of 20 mJy. A secondary peak of 8 mJy appears 12" SE of VLA 1. A strong peak of molecular line emission appears at the position of VLA 1. Molecular gas associated with SSV 63 has also been detected. Maps of circumstellar material of both sources will be presented.
