Scientific paper

We present Brackett-gamma and Balmer Discontinuity observations of a large sample of Herbig Ae/Be candidate stars. Herbig Ae/Be stars are the higher mass analogues of T Tauri stars, and both are young stellar objects accreting material from a circumstellar disk. We determine the mass accretion rates of the stars in our sample by measuring the veiling of the Balmer Discontinuity due to accretion. In T Tauri stars, there is a well established correlation between Brackett-gamma luminosity and mass accretion luminosity, and thus mass accretion rate. We determine if this correlation holds true for Herbig Ae/Be stars, and over what spectral range.
