Hst Proposal Id #5395 Cool Stars Early Evolution

Scientific paper

We propose to use HST's high spatial resolution imaging capabilities at optical and UV wavelengths to study the spectral energy distributions of the two components in close binary T Tauri stars. This will allow us to determine (1) how much of the previously observed UV excess can be attributed to the stellar continuum of a secondary source as opposed to disk accretion, (2) if the excess remains, whether or not both components or only one show evidence for a circumstellar disk and (3) whether or not dips in the spectral energy distribution are created by the presence of two stars with different apparent temperatures.
