We present new results on how the presence of stellar companions affects disk evolution based on a study of the 5-11 Myr old Upper Scorpius OB Association. Of the 50 G0-M3 Upper Sco members with disks in our sample, only seven host a…

We present population synthesis models of viscous protoplanetary disks subject to mild external far-ultraviolet (FUV) radiation fields ($F_{\rm UV}=1\text{-}100\,$G$_0$). Our simulations focus on gas disk evolution, exploring stellar masses…

Infrared spectroscopy provides a powerful diagnostic for probing the mineralogical properties of dust grains in the terrestrial planet-forming regions of protoplanetary disks. The Upper Scorpius association offers an excellent laboratory…

We present observations of disc-bearing stars in Upper Scorpius (US) and Upper Centaurus-Lupus (UCL) with moderate resolution spectroscopy in order to determine the influence of multiplicity on disc persistence after ~5-20 Myr. Discs were…

We report the results of mid-IR observations with VISIR at the VLT of 10 ultracool dwarfs members of the nearby Upper Scorpius OB association in four filters ranging between 8.59 (PAH1) to 12.8 $\mu$m (Ne II), and one brown dwarf with…

We have carried out a Spitzer survey for brown dwarf (BD) disks in the ~5 Myr old Upper Scorpius (UpSco) star forming region, using IRS spectroscopy from 8 to 12\mu m and MIPS photometry at 24\mu m. Our sample consists of 35 confirmed very…

Free-floating planetary-mass objects (FFPs) have been detected through direct imaging in several young, nearby star-forming regions. The properties of circumstellar disks around these objects may provide a valuable probe into their origin…
