Scientific paper

We propose to use Spitzer and IRS in SL1 and SL2 modes to make multiple observations of actively accreting T Tauri stars during the course of Cycle 2. In coordination with an ongoing near-infrared spectroscopic survey of the same sources, we hope to characterize the time dependence and nature of accretion variability in these sources and determine if a correlation exists between inner and outer disk accretion activity. We expect the accretion variability to manifest itself as fluctuations in the shapes of the near-IR and mid-IR spectral energy distributions as well as variations in the line strength and shapes of accretion-related emission line features.
