A.1. Photometry

In this appendix, we summarize the different sources of the photometry used to construct the SED (see Table A.1).

A.2. Stellar parameters

The stellar properties of HD 135344B have been studied by previous authors (e.g., Dunkin et al. 1997; Müller et al. 2011; Andrews et al. 2011). While authors agree on a spectral type F4, an effective temperature 6750 ± 150 K (6660 K, Dunkin et al. 1997; 6590 K, Andrews et al. 2011; 6810 ± 80 K, Müller et al. 2011), and a mass of 1.6 to 1.7 M_⊙, there is a discrepancy in estimations of the radius of the star. Müller et al. (2011) suggest a radii of 1.4 ± 0.25 R_⊙, while Andrews et al. (2011) suggest a radii of 2.15 R_⊙.

To have an independent assessment of the star properties, we downloaded reduced archival high-resolution (R = 75 000) ESO/VLT-UVES spectra of HD 135344B in the 4800 to 5500 Å and 5830−6800 Å ranges and used the interactive spectra visualization tool described in Carmona et al. (2010) to compare the UVES spectrum to BLUERED (Bertone et al. 2008) high-resolution synthetic spectra, in regions not contaminated by emission lines or telluric absorption. We found that the optical spectra of HD 135344B is compatible with spectral templates with T_eff ranging from 6500 to 7000 K for logg ranging between 4.0 and 5.0 (see Fig. A.1). Naturally, logg = 5.0 is not realistic as logg = 4.33 for an F-type star on the main sequence. The minimum in the χ² statistic suggests a T_eff around 6750 K.

To have a second constraint on the spectral type and A_V, we employed the HST/COS⁶ spectrum of HD 135344B. In Fig. A.2, we display coadded COS spectrum of HD 135344B, smoothed by a running nine-point boxcar filter, and dereddened by a Cardelli et al. (1989)R = 3.1 extinction curve with E(B − V) = 0.129 (Av = 0.4). We overplot F3V (HR 9028, IUE SWP 14002, red) and F4V (HD 27901, SWP 45935, blue) spectral type comparison stars scaled by the difference in V magnitudes between them and HD 135344B. The spectral template F4V provides the best fit to the observed COS spectrum. The F4V spectrum corresponds to a T_eff of 6620 K using Schmidt-Kaler (1982).

To obtain an estimate of the luminosity and to constrain the value of the radius, we used a distance of 140 pc (van Boekel et al. 2005), the B and V photometry (9.2 and 8.7, SIMBAD database), and the T_eff, M_V, BC values of Schmidt-Kaler (1982) for stars of luminosity class V (i.e., smallest possible radii). We found that for a T_eff equal to 6440 K (F5) and 6890 K (F2), R = 2.09 and 2.07 R_⊙ respectively. Interpolating for T_eff 6620 K, we obtained 2.08 R_⊙. These values are closer to the radius estimate of 2.15 R_⊙ suggested by Andrews et al. (2011) than the 1.4 R_⊙ claimed by Müller et al. (2011).

For our models, we used a star with T_eff = 6620 K (F4V), a stellar radius of 2.1 R_⊙, a mass of 1.65 M_⊙, and A_v = 0.4.

Fig. A.2 Coadded HST-COS spectrum of HD 135344B smoothed and dereddened (see details in the text). F3V (HR 9028, IUE SWP 14002, red) and F4V (HD 27901, SWP 45935, blue) spectral type comparison stars are shown, scaled by the difference in V magnitudes between them and HD 135344B. HD 135344B shows a distinct FUV excess for wavelengths shortward of 1600 Å, demonstrating the accretion luminosity. The structure seen in the COS data is not noise, but fluorescent H2 emission (France et al. 2012). The rise in flux for the comparison stars shortward of H I Lyman α is an artefact. No correction in all of the spectra has been made for geocoronal Lyman α.

A.5. Details of Model 5

In this figure, we show additional plots of the structure and emitting regions of several gas tracers in Model 5.

Fig. A.4 Model 5. Upper panels: (left) gas temperature, (right) dust temperature. Central panels: (left) hydrogen number density, (right) optical depth of the line (τline), of the continuum (τcont), cumulative vertical flux, and number density as a function of the radius for the [O i] line at 145 μm. The box in thick black lines represents the region in the disk that emits 70% of the line radially and 70% of the line vertically, thus approximately ~50% of the line flux. Lower panels: similar plots for the [C ii] line at 157 μm (left) and the ortho H2 0−0 S(1) at 17 μm (right).
