Résumé

Context. Investigating the evolution of protoplanetary disks is crucial for our understanding of star and planet formation. There have been several theoretical and observational studies in past decades to advance this knowledge. The launch of satellites operating at infrared wavelengths, such as the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Herschel Space Observatory, has provided important tools for investigating the properties of circumstellar disks.
Aims: FT Tauri is a young star in the Taurus star forming region that was included in a number of spectroscopic and photometric surveys. We investigate the properties of the star, the circumstellar disk, and the accretion/ejection processes and propose a consistent gas and dust model also as a reference for future observational studies.
Methods: We performed a multiwavelength data analysis to derive the basic stellar and disk properties, as well as mass accretion/outflow rate from TNG/DOLoRes, WHT/LIRIS, NOT/NOTCam, Keck/NIRSpec, and Herschel/PACS spectra. From the literature, we compiled a complete spectral energy distribution. We then performed detailed disk modeling using the MCFOST and ProDiMo codes. Multiwavelength spectroscopic and photometric measurements were compared with the reddened predictions of the codes in order to constrain the disk properties.
Results: We have determined the stellar mass (~ 0.3 M), luminosity (~ 0.35 L), and age (~ 1.6 Myr), as well as the visual extinction of the system (1.8 mag). We estimate the mass accretion rate (~ 3 × 10-8 M/yr) to be within the range of accreting objects in Taurus. The evolutionary state and the geometric properties of the disk are also constrained. The radial extent (0.05 to 200 AU), flaring angle (power law with exponent =1.15), and mass (0.02 M) of the circumstellar disk are typical of a young primordial disk. This object can serve as a benchmark for primordial disks with significant mass accretion rate, high gas content, and typical size.

Based on Herschel data. Herschel is an ESA space observatory with science instruments provided by European-led Principal Investigator consortia and with important participation from NASA.Tables 3, 4 and Appendix A are available in electronic form at http://www.aanda.org
