| Description | There is growing evidence that the star formation process is in facthighly dynamic, on timescales from days to centuries. The temporalvariability is a new and powerful diagnostic tool to study Young StellarObjects (YSOs). Depending on the time scale of the variability in themid and far infrared we can learn about different physical mechanismsshaping their structure and dynamics. Here we propose to extend ournear and mid infrared study of variable YSOs in the young open clusterIC 348 to the far infrared (70 and 160 micron) using Herschel/PACS.We will constrain the frequency of far infrared variability and comparethe observed time dependent behavior with protostellar and disk modelsto understand its origin.Possible mechanisms include fluctuations in the accretion luminosity, orechoes of inner disk structural changes projected onto the infallingenvelope or flared outer disk surface. Our sample in IC348 covers a largepart of the evolutionary sequence of YSOs from class I sources to transitional disks. The cadence of the requested observations allow us tostudy variations on time scales from days to months that could be extended to several years using our Spitzer/MIPS data. This OT2 proposal is an essential complement of our GT2 program covering one visibility epoch, |

| 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. |
