Abstract (from CDS):

We present detailed modeling of the disk around the TW Hydrae Association (TWA) brown dwarf 2MASSW J1207334-393254 (2M1207), using Spitzer observations from 3.6 to 24 µm. The spectral energy distribution (SED) does not show a high amount of flaring. We have obtained a good fit using a flat disk of mass between 10–4 and 10^ -6^ M, M{dot}≲10–11 M/yr, and a large inclination angle between 60° and 70°. We have used three different grain models to fit the 10 µm Si emission feature, and have found the results to be consistent with ISM-like dust. In comparison with other TWA members, this suggests lesser dust processing for 2M1207, which could be explained by mechanisms such as aggregate fragmentation and/or turbulent mixing. We have found a good fit using an inner disk radius equal to the dust sublimation radius, which indicates the absence of an inner hole in the disk. This suggests the presence of a small K-L' excess, similar to the observed K-[3.6] excess.
