Outline and conclusions Spitzer-IRS and Herschel-PACS had poor spatial and spectral resolution by Townesgroup

Outline and conclusions Spitzer-IRS and Herschel-PACS had poor spatial and spectral resolution by Townesgroup standards, but their limitations did not prevent the making of substantial discoveries in the domain of protoplanetary disk evolution and planet formation: q Giant planets form within a few Myr of their stars. q Disks dissipate photoevaporatively in 3 -5 Myr. q Prebiotic molecules are abundant in the planet-formation regions of protoplanetary disks. q Dust in disks settles to midplane during the protostellar phase (< 0. 5 Myr). q Crystalline-dust mass fraction of disks increases with age, 0. 7 -5 Myr. 2

Giant planets form within a few Myr of their stars. q Transitional disks: mid-IR

Giant planets form within a few Myr of their stars. q Transitional disks: mid-IR spectral gaps in Class II YSOs = 3 -30 AU, sharp -edged gaps in disks = carved by recently-formed giant planets. q Gap verified: SMA, CARMA, Pd. BI and ALMA. q Time scale consistent with Saturn. q Up to 20% of Class II objects, even in the youngest clusters (e. g. NGC 1333, Orion). q Many TDs in ALMA’s grasp; many of their planets in the grasp of GPI, SPHERE, etc. D’Alessio et al 2005; Calvet et al. 2005; Brown et al. 2007; Espaillat et al. 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012; Kim et al. 2009, 2013; Merin et al. 2010. rgap = 46 AU Espaillat et al. 2007 3
