Accretion Disk Lifetimes and Stellar Rotation Periods for Young Stars in NGC 2264
We present the initial results of a study aimed at: (1) determining the lifetime of the disk accretion phase among low mass pre-main sequence stars; (2) establishing the time dependence of disk mass accretion rates; and (3) further exploring the role played by accretion disks in regulating stellar rotation. Our laboratory for this study is NGC 2264
