Zusammenfassung: | Astron.Astrophys. 412 (2003) L43-L46 In this article we present the results from mid-infrared spectroscopy of a
sample of 14 T Tauri stars with silicate emission. The qualitative analysis of
the spectra reveals a correlation between the strength of the silicate feature
and its shape similar to the one which was found recently for the more massive
Herbig Ae/Be stars by van Boekel et al. (2003). The comparison with theoretical
spectra of amorphous olivine with different grain sizes suggests that this
correlation is indicating grain growth in the disks of T Tauri stars. Similar
mechanisms of grain processing appear to be effective in both groups of young
stars. |
