Description Protoplanetary gas and dust disks around T Tauri stars are the most important
elements in the process of planet formation. In particular, the dissipation time
scale of disks sets a critical time limit for planet formation. The mechanisms
of disk dissipation are poorly understood, however. Apart from the planet formation
process itself, photoevaporation and disk instabilities induced by the magneto-
rotational instability are key candidates. In both cases, heating and ionisation
by stellar short-wavelength radiation plays a crucial role. High-energy stellar
radiation (X-rays, extreme ultraviolet) also drives chemical networks in circumstellar
disks, forming key molecules that eventually become important for the formation
of life in habitable zones. However, there is little information on the X-ray radiation
spectrum impinging on the disk, given various sources of photoelectric absorption.
We will study disk ionisation and X-ray driven chemistry by observing X-ray
sensitive lines in an outstanding and unique sample of three classical T Tauri
stars in which X-rays appear to be blocked before reaching the disk. We will
compare the results with a control sample of disks that appear to be irradiated by
high levels of stellar X-ray radiation. Our X-ray sensitive lines include transitions
from HCN, HCO+, and ortho-NH3. The interpretation of our results will be based
on thermo-chemical codes developed in the proposing team.

Mission Description Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009! It is the fourth 'cornerstone' mission in the ESA science programme. With a 3.5 m Cassegrain telescope it is the largest space telescope ever launched. It is performing photometry and spectroscopy in approximately the 55-671 µm range, bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities.
