Abstract:
We provide an overview of the Spitzer Legacy Program, Formation and
Evolution of Planetary Systems, that was proposed in 2000, begun in
2001, and executed aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope between 2003 and
2006. This program exploits the sensitivity of Spitzer to carry out
mid-infrared spectrophotometric observations of solar-type stars. With
a sample of 328 stars ranging in age from 3Myr to 3Gyr, we trace the
evolution of circumstellar gas and dust from primordial
planet-building stages in young circumstellar disks through to older
collisionally generated debris disks. When completed, our program will
help define the timescales over which terrestrial and gas giant
planets are built, constrain the frequency of planetesimal collisions
as a function of time, and establish the diversity of mature planetary
architectures. In addition to the observational program, we have
coordinated a concomitant theoretical effort aimed at understanding
the dynamics of circumstellar dust with and without the effects of
embedded planets, dust spectral energy distributions, and atomic and
molecular gas line emission. Together with the observations, these
efforts will provide an astronomical context for understanding whether
our solar system and its habitable planets a common or a rare
circumstance. Additional information about the FEPS project can be
found on the team Web site.
