Gas Absorption in the KH 15D System: Further Evidence for Dust Settling in the Circumbinary Disk

Na I D lines in the spectrum of the young binary KH 15D have been analyzed in detail. We find an excess absorption component that may be attributed to foreground interstellar absorption, and to gas possibly associated with the solids in the circumbinary disk. The derived column density is log $N_{\r...
