Caption: Figure 5.
COS FUV spectra of the WTTS RECX-1 (lower red) and the CTTS RECX-11 (upper black). The RECX-11 spectrum is offset vertically for clarity. Strong lines of Lyα-fluoresced H 2 and atomic lines are labeled. The blue dashes show the wavelengths at which additional H 2 emission lines from Lyα pumping may be seen. RECX-1 shows a lack of molecular gas lines which are apparent in RECX-11; essentially no gas exists in the inner disk region of RECX-1.
