Young stars and their circumstellar disks in the Sigma Orionis cluster (2004)
Conference Proceeding
M. Oliveira, J., D. Jeffries, R., Th. van Loon, J., & J. Kenyon, M. (2004). Young stars and their circumstellar disks in the Sigma Orionis cluster. In Open Issues in Local Star Formation (55–62). https://doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-2600-5_6

The sigma Orionis cluster is a young association evolving under the disruptive influence of its massive O-star namesake. We are analysing this cluster as part of a program to characterise the influence of O-stars on the early stages of stellar evolut...

Mid-infrared observations of young stellar objects in the vicinity of sigma Orionis (2004)
Journal Article
Oliveira, J. M., & van Loon, J. T. (2004). Mid-infrared observations of young stellar objects in the vicinity of sigma Orionis. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 418(2), https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361%3A20034518

We present new mid-infrared observations of objects in the vicinity of the O-star sigma Orionis, obtained with TIMMI-2 at ESO. By constraining their near- and mid-infrared spectral energy distributions, we established the nature of previously known I...

An L'-band survey for circumstellar discs around low-mass stars in the young σ Orionis cluster (2004)
Journal Article
Jeffries, R., Oliveira, J., & Van Loon, J. (2004). An L'-band survey for circumstellar discs around low-mass stars in the young σ Orionis cluster. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 347(4), 1327 -1336. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2004.07315.x

We present new K- and L'-band imaging of a representative sample of members of the young 3-5 Myr old sigma Orionis cluster. We identified objects with (K-L') excess by analysing colour-colour diagrams and comparing the observations with empirical mai...
