  3. Anna Miotello Massimo Robberto Why is 114-426 important ? miotello@stsci.edu (Ricci et al. 2008) The presence of disks with and without evidence of photoevaporation in the same cluster provides a unique opportunity of understanding how environmental factors may affect the path to planet formation.

  9. Anna Miotello Discussion Massimo Robberto Photoevaporation FUV photons EUV photons ( 6 eV ≤ hν ≤ 13.6 eV ) ( hν ≥ 13.6 eV ) • Create a PDR at the disk surface with • T ~ 100 ÷ 1000 K • Are absorbed early on at a IF in the photoevaporated wind that escapes radially, being ionized and heated to T ~ 10 000 K • Are not absorbed by atomic hydrogen and easily penetrate to the disk surface miotello@stsci.edu Even in the core of the Trapezium Cluster, disk photoevaporation is normally supported by FUV photons (Johnstone et al. 1998 ) August 12th, 2011
