Scientific paper

Evaporation in the vicinity of an O star disrupts protoplanetary disks, as seen in the Orion proplyds. We have found a number of evaporating disks with Spitzer, which are in some ways more dramatic and better oriented for detailed study than the proplyds - they have cometary tails extending up to 0.1 pc from the evaporation working surface. We will use Spitzer/IRS and HST/NICMOS to investigate these systems in more detail. We want to explore the excitation condition in the gas, both in the head and in the tail where possible. We will measure the effects of evaporation on the characteristic emission features of the dust. We also will use NICMOS to image them in detail, including mapping complex structures resolved in their tails at 24 microns
