Although T Tauri is one of the most studied young objects in astronomy, thenature of its circumstellar environment remains elusive due, in part, to thesmall angular separation of its three components (North-South and South a-b areseparated by 0.68" and 0.12" respectively). Taking advantage of incrediblystable, high Strehl, PSFs obtained with Mid-IR adaptive optics at the 6.5 meterMMT, we are able to resolve the system on and off the 10um silicate dustfeature (8.7um, 10.55um, and 11.86um; 10% bandwidth), and broad N. At thesewavelengths, South a-b are separated by only ~0.3 lambda/D. This paperdescribes a robust Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to separate all threecomponents astrometrically and photometrically, for the first time, in themid-IR. Our results show that the silicate feature previously observed in theunresolved T Tau South binary is dominated by T Tau Sa's absorption, while Sbdoes not appear to have a significant feature. This suggests that a largecircumbinary disk around Sa-Sb is not likely the primary source of cool dust inour line-of-sight, and that T Tau Sa is enshrouded by a nearly edge-oncircumstellar disk. Surprisingly, T Tau Sb does not appear to have a similarlyoriented disk.
