TL;DR
This survey of the young stellar cluster IC 348 reveals how disk masses evolve over time, showing a decline from younger regions and identifying potential planet-forming disks around low-mass stars.
Contribution
First mm-continuum survey of IC 348's disks, providing insights into disk mass evolution and potential planet formation in a 2-3 Myr cluster.
Findings
Disk masses in IC 348 are lower than in Taurus and Lupus.
Approximately 5% of disks have masses >1 Jupiter mass.
Most non-detected disks have very low dust masses, suggesting early stages of planet formation.
Abstract
We present a 1.3 mm continuum survey of the young (2-3 Myr) stellar cluster IC 348, which lies at a distance of 310 pc, and is dominated by low-mass stars (M 0.1-0.6 M). We observed 136 Class II sources (disks that are optically thick in the infrared) at 0.8 (200 au) resolution with a 3 sensitivity of 0.45 mJy (M 1.3 M). We detect 40 of the targets and construct a mm-continuum luminosity function. We compare the disk mass distribution in IC 348 to those of younger and older regions, taking into account the dependence on stellar mass. We find a clear evolution in disk masses from 1 to 5-10 Myr. The disk masses in IC 348 are significantly lower than those in Taurus (1-3 Myr) and Lupus (1-3 Myr), similar to those of Chamaleon~I, (2-3 Myr) and Ori (3-5 Myr) and significantly higher than in Upper Scorpius…
