Scientific paper

We propose to obtain IRS complete (5-40 micron) low-resolution spectra of young stars and brown dwarfs to study the characteristics of their disks and to search for evidence of ongoing planet formation. Several of these objects exhibit evidence of inner disk holes in IRAC and MIPS measurements; the IRS data will be used to confirm the presence of these holes, which may be cleared by newly-formed planets. We also propose to use IRAC and MIPS observations of additional low-mass stars and brown dwarfs to identify new disks (particularly transition disks) for future IRS followup. This guaranteed-time observing program has a total of 23 hours.
