AST-0507419INSTITUTION: University of Notre DamePI: Erika GibbTITLE: Characterizing Volatile Composition in Preplanetary DisksABSTRACTDr.Erika Gibb and Dr. Terrence Rettig, at the University of Notre Dame, will undertake a program aimed toward improving our understanding of the chemistry in regions of planet formation around young stars. In particular, low mass T-Tauri stars will be investigated. The research will utilize both high- and medium-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy to address fundamental questions regarding the chemical composition in planet formation environments. Specific efforts will involve searches and characterization of prebiotically important gas phase molecules in disks around young stars, and the characterization of ice mantle constituents toward low mass star forming regions. The promotion of a further understanding of the origins of life will lead to broader impact of the research. This program will also promote the education of undergraduate students. Finally, the PIs plan public outreach, publication of their work, presentations at national meetings, and invited talks in order to disseminate results to a broad audience, with the goal of furthering education and promoting an interest in understanding our cosmic origins.

研究机构：圣母大学PI：Erika Gibb标题：行星前盘挥发性成分的表征摘要圣母大学的Erika Gibb博士和Terrence Rettig博士将开展一项旨在提高我们对年轻恒星周围行星形成区域化学性质的理解的计划。 特别是，低质量的T-Tauri恒星将被研究。 该研究将利用高分辨率和中分辨率近红外光谱来解决有关行星形成环境中化学成分的基本问题。 具体的工作将涉及搜索和定性 在年轻恒星周围的盘中的prebiotically重要的气相分子，以及对低质量星星形成区域的冰地幔成分的表征。 促进对生命起源的进一步理解将导致研究产生更广泛的影响。该方案还将促进本科生的教育。 最后，PI计划公共宣传，出版他们的工作，在国家会议上发表演讲，并邀请演讲，以向广大受众传播结果，目的是促进教育和促进对理解我们宇宙起源的兴趣。
