SIRTF Is 60 days From Launch
• Observations at 24, 70, 160 µm will detect disks at levels of a few times our own Kuiper Belt via IR excess at long wavelengths (80 K 10- 50 AU) – Investigate incidence of disks as f(spectral type, age, metallicity, planets) • SIRTF will detect only higher levels of emission from dust in “habitable zone” (x100 local zodiacal cloud) due to poor contrast with star – Interferometers (Keck-I, LBT- I) will provide better measure of inner zodiacal clouds SIRTF/MIPS Volume Limited Sample Known Any Age Age FGK 139 48 F5-F9 36 16 G0-G4 40 15 G5-G9 27 6 K0-K5 36 11 with Planet 38
