The effect of irradiation by the central star on the atmospheres of optically thick physically thin accretion disks around young objects are approximated, assuming radiative equilibrium. Irradiation is found to increase the temperature in the atmosphere of a viscous accretion disk relative to the case when only the viscous flux goes through it. Its effect on the near-infrared spectrum of the star-disk configuration is to decrease the strength of the absorption in the CO bands or turn them into emission, depending on the irradiation rate and on the mass accretion rate. As the stellar effect temperature increases for a given mass accretion rate, the disk surface temperature increases and the CO bands turn into emission. Observed spectra of young objects such as T Tauri stars, FU Ori subjects, and Herbig Be/Ae stars are in qualitative agreement with those predicted using the corresponding stellar parameters and disk mass accretion rates. It is inferred that the near-infrared CO bands can be used as indicators of the rate of mass accretion in the disk around young objects.
