Probing T Tauri Accretion and Outflow with 1 Micron Spectroscopy
  In a high dispersion 1 micron survey of 39 classical T Tauri stars veiling is detected in 80%, and He I 10830 and Pgamma line emission in 97% of the stars. On average, the 1 micron veiling exceeds the level expected from previously identified sources of excess emission, suggesting the presence of an additional contributor to accretion luminosity in the star-disk interface region. Strengths of both lines correlate with veiling, and at Pgamma there is a systematic progression in profile morphology with veiling. He I 10830 has an unprecedented sensitivity to inner winds, showing blueshifted absorption below the continuum in 71% of the CTTS compared to 0% at pgamma. This line is also sensitive to magnetospheric accretion flows, with redshifted absorption below the continuum found in 47% of the CTTS compared to 24% at Pgamma. The blueshifted absorption at 10830 shows considerable diversity in its breadth and penetration depth into the continuum, indicating that a range of inner wind conditions exist in accreting stars. We interpret the broadest and deepest blue absorptions as formed from scattering of the 1 micron continuum by outflowing gas whose full acceleration region envelopes the star, suggesting radial outflow from the star. In contrast, narrow blue absorption with a range of radial velocities more likely arises via scattering of the 1 micron continuum by a wind emerging from the inner disk. Both stellar and disk winds are accretion powered since neither is seen in non-accreting WTTS and among the CTTS helium strength correlates with veiling.
