24um observations of AFGKM stars of 3 clusters

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We use Spitzer Space Telescope 24 {mu}m data to search for debris disks among 122 AFGKM stars from the ~670 Myr clusters Hyades, Coma Ber, and Praesepe, utilizing a number of advances in data reduction and determining the intrinsic colors of main-sequence stars.

Description

For our sample, the 1{sigma} dispersion about the main-sequence V-K_S_, K_S_-[24] locus is approximately 3.1%. We identify seven debris disks at 10% or more ( >=3{sigma} confidence level) above the expected K_S_-[24] for purely photospheric emission.

The incidence of excesses of 10% or greater in our sample at this age is 5.7^+3.1^_-1.7_%. Combining with results from the literature, the rate is 7.8^+4.2^_-2.1_% for early-type (B9-F4) stars and 2.7^+3.3^_-1.7_% for solar-like (F5-K9) stars. Our primary sample has strict criteria for inclusion to allow comparison with other work; when we relax these criteria, three additional debris disks are detected.

They are all around stars of solar-like type and hence reinforce our conclusion that disks around such stars are still relatively common at 670Myr and are similar to the rate around early-type stars. The apparently small difference in decay rates between early-type and solar-like stars is inconsistent with the first-order theoretical predictions that the later type stellar disks would decay an order of magnitude more quickly than the earlier type ones.
