摘要:

毫米波干涉测量提供了证据,证明在前主序星周围的圆盘外部存在毫米到厘米大小的“卵石”。观测结果表明,大颗粒在盘演化中相对较早(< 1百万年)产生,并在大半径处保持较长时间(5到1千万年)。然而,对固体粒子径向漂移时间的简单理论估计意味着它们将在小于0.1百万年的时间尺度上向内漂移。在本文中,我们使用更详细的理论模型,包括沉降,集体拖曳力和湍流粘度的影响,解决理论和观测之间的冲突。我们发现,虽然这些影响减缓了尘埃粒子的径向漂移,这种减少是不足以解释观测确定的长生存时间的mm/cm大小的颗粒在原行星盘。然而,如果由于某种原因,气尘盘中的气尘比从标准值100减少了至少20倍(例如通过气体的光蒸发),那么径向漂移时间尺度就会变得足够大,与观测结果一致。

英文摘要:

Millimeter interferometry provides evidence for the presence of mm to cm size "pebbles" in the outer parts of disks around pre-main-sequence stars. The observations suggest that large grains are produced relatively early in disk evolution (< 1 Myr) and remain at large radii for longer periods of time (5 to 10 Myr). Simple theoretical estimates of the radial drift time of solid particles, however, imply that they would drift inward over a time scale of less than 0.1 Myr. In this paper, we address this conflict between theory and observation, using more detailed theoretical models, including the effects of sedimentation, collective drag forces and turbulent viscosity. We find that, although these effects slow down the radial drift of the dust particles, this reduction is not sufficient to explain the observationally determined long survival time of mm/cm-sized grains in protoplanetary disks. However, if for some reason the gas to dust ratio in the disk is reduced by at least a factor of 20 from the canonical value of 100 (for instance through photoevaporation of the gas), then the radial drift time scales become sufficiently large to be in agreement with observations.
