Optical and Near-Infrared Imaging of Young Binary Star Environments
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 May 2016
Abstract
We review recent imaging results on the circumstellar matter of young binaries obtained using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and by PUEO, a ground-based adaptive optics (AO) system operating at CFHT. In the area of circumbinary disks, new results for GG Tau help form a more complete picture of this prototype system. However, HST images of the UY Aur ring indicate a more complex system than first thought. A new example of a circumstellar disk in a multiple star system has been found in HV Tau, joining HK Tau in this category. Examples of envelopes, outflow cavities, and jets are shown for several young binaries. About half of the nearby young binaries in our survey possess some kind of local nebulosity at optical or near-IR wavelengths.
