Abstract
We modify the computational codes developed by D'Alessio and colaborators to obtain the IRAC synthetic colors for young brown dwarfs with disks in Taurus. A set of models, ranging several mass accretion rates, substellar effective temperature, and alpha-viscosity parameter, are constructed; with that, and using previously published IRAC data, we study the innermost region of the circunsubstellar accretion disks in the Taurus region. The median SED of Taurus for stellar/substellar objects with spectral types between M6 and M9 is obtained.
