Elisha Polomski U. Florida The Circumstellar Environments of the Pre-Main-Sequence Ae/Be Stars I have conducted a program of mid-IR imaging observations of the intermediate mass protoplanetary disk candidates, the Ae/Be stars, using the University of Florida mid-IR imager OSCIR at the Infrared Telescope Facility and the Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory. My observations have shown that as much as 50% of the mid-IR emission of these objects is unrelated to circumstellar disks. I have discovered large-scale extended emission and multiple companions around many of these objects. In addition I have constructed revised SEDs which exclude emission from non-disk sources. These SEDs exhibit altered slopes which are not within the ranges seen in simple circumstellar disk models. Finally, temperature maps of the dust grains support the hypothesis that some of the mid-IR emission originates in non-equilibrium emission from small grains. I present images of several of the objects I have surveyed and discuss their properties. The source of the IR excess of these stars has direct consequences for the presence of circumstellar disks and ultimately, the formation of planets around intermediate mass stars.
