    Effects of Dust Growth and Settling in T Tauri Disks (2006)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: We presented self-consistent disk models of T Tauri stars that include a parameterized treatment of dust settling and grain growth, building on techniques developed in a series of papers by D'Alessio et al. The models incorporate depleted distributions of dust in upper disk layers along with larger sized particles near the disk midplane, which are expected theoretically and, as we suggested earlier, are necessary to account for millimeter-wave emission, SEDs, scattered light images, and silicate emission features simultaneously. By comparing the models with recent mid- and near-IR observations, we find that the dust-to-gas mass ratio of small grains at the upper layers should be less than 10% of the standard value. The grains that have disappeared from the upper layers increase the dust-to-gas mass ratio of the disk interior; if those grains grow to maximum sizes of the order of millimeters during the settling process, then both the millimeter-wave fluxes and spectral slopes can be consistently explained. Depletion and growth of grains can also enhance the ionization of upper layers, increasing the possibility of the magnetorotational instability for driving disk accretion.

    Why Do T Tauri Disks Accrete? (2006)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: Observations of T Tauri stars and young brown dwarfs suggest that the accretion rates of their disks scales roughly with the square of the central stellar mass. No dependence of accretion rate on stellar mass is predicted by the simplest version of the Gammie layered disk model, in which nonthermal ionization of upper disk layers allows accretion to occur via the magnetorotational instability. We show that a minor modification of Gaminie's model to include heating by irradiation from the central star yields a modest dependence of accretion on the mass of the central star. A purely viscous disk model could provide a strong dependence of accretion rate on stellar mass if the initial disk radius (before much viscous evolution has occurred) has a strong dependence on stellar mass. However, it is far from clear that at least the most massive pre-main-sequence disks can be totally magnetically activated by X-rays or cosmic rays. We suggest that a combination of effects are responsible for the observed dependence, with the lowest mass stars having the lowest mass disks, which can be thoroughly magnetically active, while the higher mass stars have higher mass disks that have layered accret,ion and relatively inactive or "dead" central zones at some radii. In such dead zones, we suggest that gravitational instabilities may play a role in allowing accretion to proceed. In this connection, we emphasize the uncertainty in disk masses derived from dust emission and argue that T Tauri disk masses have been systematically underestimated by conventional analyses. Furtlier study of accretion rates, especially in the lowest mass stars, would help to clarify the mechanisms of accretion in T Tauri stars.

    Disks in Transition in the Taurus Population: Spitzer IRS Spectra of GM Aurigae and DM Tauri (2005)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: We presented Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) observations of two objects of the Taurus population that show unambiguous signs of clea,ring in their inner disks. In one of the objects, DM Tau, the outer disk is truncated at 3 AU; this object is akin to another recently reported in Taurus, CoKu Tau/4, in that the inner disk region is free of small dust. Unlike CoKu Tau/4, however, this star is still accreting, so optically thin gas should still remain in the inner disk region. The other object, GM Aur, also accreting, has about 0.02 lunar masses of small dust in the inner disk region within about 5 AU, consistent with previous reports. However, the IRS spectrum clearly shows that the optically thick outer disk has an inner truncation at a much larger radius than previously suggested, of order 24 AU. These observations provide strong evidence for the presence of gaps in protoplanetary disks.

    The Accretion Disk of the Lithium-Depleted Young Binary St 34 (2005)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: We presented the infrared spectrum of the young binary system St 34 obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The IRS spectrum clearly shows excess dust emission, consistent with the suggestion of White & Hillenbrand that St 34 is accreting from a circumbinary disk. The disk emission of St 34 is low in comparison with the levels observed in typical T Tauri stars; silicate features at 10 and 20 microns are much weaker than typically seen in T Tauri stars; and excess emission is nearly absent at the shortest wavelengths observed. These features of the infrared spectrum suggest substantial grain growth (to eliminate silicate features) and possible settling of dust to the disk midplane (to reduce the continuum excess emission levels), along with a relatively evacuated inner disk, as expected due to gravitational perturbations by the binary system. Although the position of St 34 in the H-R diagram suggests an age of 8f Myr, assuming that it lies at the distance of the Taurus-Auriga molecular clouds, White & Hillenbrand could not detect any Li I absorption, which would indicate a Li depletion age of roughly 25 Myr or more. We suggest that St 34 is closer than the Taurus clouds by about 30-40 pc and has an age roughly consistent with Li depletion models. Such an advanced age would make St 34 the oldest known low-mass pre-main-sequence object with a dusty accretion disk. The persistence of optically thick dust emission well outside the binary orbit may indicate a failure to make giant planets that could effectively remove dust particles.

    Disk Evolution in Cep OB2: Results from the Spitzer Space Telescope (2006)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: We presented the results of an infrared imaging survey of Tr 37 and NGC 7160 using the IRAC and MIPS instruments on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. Our observations cover the wavelength range from 3.6 to 24 microns, allowing us to detect disk emission over a typical range of radii 0.1 to 20 AU from the central star. In Tr 37, with an age of about 4 Myr, about 48% of the low-mass stars exhibit detectable disk emission in the IRAC bands. Roughly 10% of the stars with disks may be "transition" objects, with essentially photospheric fluxes at wavelengths i 4.5 microns but with excesses at longer wavelengths, indicating an optically thin inner disk. The median optically thick disk emission in Tr 37 is lower than the corresponding median for stars in the younger Taurus region; the decrease in infrared excess is larger at 6-8 microns than at 24 microns, suggesting that grain growth and/or dust settling has proceeded faster at smaller disk radii, as expected on general theoretical grounds. Only about 4% of the low-mass stars in the 10 Myr old cluster NGC 7160 show detectable infrared disk emission. We also find evidence for 24 micron excesses around a few intermediate-mass stars, which may represent so-called "debris disk" systems. Our observations provided new constraints on disk evolution through an important age range.

    A geologic contribution to the evaluation of the seismic potential of the Kahrizak fault (Tehran, Iran) (2008)
    Elsevier
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-06-16
    Description: In this paper we present the results of preliminary geomorphic and trenching investigations along the Kahrizak fault. This fault is located south of the highly populated metropolis of Tehran and represents one of the main structures in the area containing important seismic potential. The Kahrizak fault has a very clear expression at the surface where it forms a prominent 35-km-long, 15-m-high scarp on Holocene alluvial deposits. The fault strikes N70°-80°W and dips to the north. Movement is prevalently right-lateral with the northern side of the fault up. Trench excavations exposed a sequence of weathered, massive, alluvial deposits which are dated, by means of radiometric methods, to the Holocene. In the trenches the sequence is intensely deformed by north-dipping, high- and low-angle faults within a 30-m-wide zone. On the basis of stratigraphic and structural relations, some evidence for individual Holocene earthquakes is found; however, we were not able to reconstruct the seismic history of the fault nor to evaluate the size of deformation produced by each event. Because of the possible ~10 m offset of ancient linear hydraulic artifacts (qanáts), that cross the fault, we hypothesize that the most recent event may have occurred in historical times (more recent than 5000 yr B.P.) and it may be one of those reported in this area by the current catalogues of seismicity. Based on these preliminary investigations we estimate an elapsed time between 5000 and 800 years, a maximum slip per event dmax of ~10 m, a minimum Holocene vertical slip rate of ~1 mm/yr versus a horizontal slip rate of ~3.5 mm/yr, a maximum of ~3000 years for the average recurrence time, and an expected Mw = 7.0 to 7.4. These can be considered as a first-hand reference for the activity on this fault.

    Paleoearthquakes of the Düzce fault (North Anatolian Fault Zone): implications for earthquake recurrence (2006)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The November 12, 1999, Mw 7.1 earthquake, ruptured the Düzce segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone and produced ca. 40 km-long surface ruptures. To learn about recurrence of large surface faulting earthquakes on this fault, we undertook paleoseismological trench investigations. We found evidence for repeated surface faulting paleoearthquakes pre-dating the 1999 event. Dating was based on radiocarbon and 210Pb analyses as well as on archaeological considerations. By merging information obtained from all the trenches we reconstructed the seismic history of the Düzce fault for the past millennium. We correlated coeval events between different trench sites under the assumption that, similarly to the 1999 event, paleoearthquakes ruptured the whole Düzce fault. Besides the 1999 earthquake, prior surface faulting earthquakes are dated as follows: AD1685-1900 (possibly end of 19th century); AD1685-1900 (possibly close to AD 1700); AD1185-1640; AD685-1220 (possibly AD800-1000). Thus, the AD1719, AD1878 and AD1894 historical earthquakes, may have ruptured the Düzce fault and not the faults they are usually associated to or, alternatively, a cascade of events occurred on the Düzce and nearby faults (similarly to the Izmit and Düzce 1999 earthquakes). Five events since AD 685-1220 (possibly AD800-1000), would yield an average recurrence time for the Düzce fault, of 200-325 yr (possibly 250-300 yr). The three most recent earthquakes, including 1999, occurred within 300 yr and may be suggestive of clustering. Assuming that the average 1999 slip is characteristic for this fault, the above recurrence times yield slip rates of 6.7-13.5 mm/yr.

    Paleoseismological Evidence of Recent Earthquakes on the 1967 MudurnuValley Earthquake Segment of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (2007)
    Seismological Society of America
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: This study contributes paleoseismological data on the recent history of surface-rupturing earthquakes on the southern (main) branch of the North Anatolian fault zone (NAFZ, Turkey), west of the Bolu basin. We focused on the fault segment that ruptured during the 1967 Mudurnu Valley earthquake (Ms 7.1), which preceded the devastating earthquakes of 1999 in the sequence of westward-migrating NAFZ earthquakes since 1939. Geomorphological mapping was carried out in a search for trenching sites on the central part of the 22 July 1967 earthquake segment. In the absence of locations in sedimentary environments best suited for paleoseismological interpretation of faulted Holocene deposits, we trenched fluvial channel deposits at a terrace of the graveldominated Mudurnu River. The most conservative interpretation of the trench stratigraphy and faulting evidence suggests that at least one paleoearthquake (most probably two) occurred after A.D. 1693. The 1967 earthquake segment has ruptured at least once since the historical earthquake of A.D. 1668, which was previously considered to be a likely candidate for the penultimate event, and before 1967. It is not possible to confidently assign the penultimate event to one of the post A.D. 1693 historical earthquakes in the broader area around the Mudurnu Valley (e.g., the earthquake of A.D. 1719) because the historical data published so far do not provide conclusive information about when past ruptures of the Mudurnu Valley branch of the NAFZ (a secluded area) did or did not take place.

    Recent history of the Eastern Eliki Fault, Gulf of Corinth: geomorphology, palaeoseismology and impact on palaeoenvironments (2008)
    Blackwell Publishing
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The Eliki fault system dominates the landscape of the southwestern shore of the Gulf of Corinth, where rapid extension rates result in frequent earthquakes. These include an event in 373 BC that destroyed the city of Helike and a recent event in 1861. Uplifted Late Pleistocene marine terraces within the Eastern Eliki Fault footwall suggest revised slip rates of ∼3–5 mm yr−1, contributing ∼2–3 mm yr−1 geological extension to a net geodetic extension of ∼10–15 mm yr−1 across this part of the rift. Palaeoseismological trenches indicate two and possibly three earthquakes on the Eastern Eliki Fault in the last 1500 yr, including the 1861 earthquake. One trench (EET1A) reveals displaced stratigraphy, but the main fault trace is thought to lie further south beneath the Old National Road. Trench EET1A reveals liquefied sediments associated with an event between AD1460 and the present, which may be the 1861 event, and displacement during a second event in the interval AD 440–1410 or AD 1270–1640. A third earlier event identified by liquefaction occurred on the Eliki or a nearby fault in AD 440–1410. Using the 1861 and second event (most likely AD1270–1640), the interval between recent earthquakes is ∼200–600 yr. Suitable trench sites are rare in this region, compounded by human activity over several thousand years. Borehole and trench data indicate that the Kerynites river frequently flowed eastwards along the Eastern Eliki Fault during the last 20–40 kyr, possibly influenced by tectonic tilting from the Eliki and Aigion fault systems and natural channel avulsion.
