The splinter session proposed here aims to provide a venue for the community studying circumstellar disks around cool stars and brown dwarfs to: i, review the latest results from Spitzer, HST, and ground-based facilities; ii, cast these results in a coherent evolutionary sequence; iii, discuss the recent results and their implications in detail, developing a better understanding of the processes. The proposed session will be dominated by 15-minute discussions on seven key topics: disk frequency and life time, disk structure and mineralogy, disk masses, transition disks, planet formation, and debris disks. Each topic will be introduced in a 10-minute review. |
