The azimuthal component of the Navier-Stokes equation is a diffusive equation of the surface density Σ:
With the assumption that the viscosity ν scales with the radius with a power law (self-similar solutions):
It is possible to obtain analytically a solution (Lynden-Bell & Pringle,1974) and, fort >> τᵥ, the mass accretion rate Ṁacc decreases with time with this power law:

Derivation of LACC and AV
The intersection of the reddening line (red) and the accretion curve (blue) determines simultaneously Lacc and AV.

Conclusion
• We derived Lacc in two different ways: 2CD and Ha
• Obtained Macc for 743 sources
• Macc vs age: there is a dependence -> age spread,
hint of slower evolution for higher masses
• Macc vs M*: big spread, partly due to different ages
C.F. Manara, M. Robberto, N. Da Rio et al. – Mass Accretion Rates Measures in the ONC
Future perspective
• Refine Lacc determination (accretion
spectrum…)
• Macc vs period
• Macc vs Mdisk
• Macc vs molteplicity (binaries)
• Other regions
