Discovery of a dust cloud next to σ Orionis.

VAN LOON J.T. and OLIVEIRA J.M.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report on the discovery of a mid-infrared source at a projected distance of only 1200-AU from the O9.5V star σ Orionis. The spatially resolved, fan-shaped morphology and the presence of an ionization front, as well as evidence in the spectrum for processed dust grains, all suggest that it is a proto-planetary disk being dispersed by the intense ultraviolet radiation from σOrionis. We compute the mass budget and the photo-evaporation timescale, and discuss the possible nature of this remarkable object.
