原行星盘中行星诱导间隙的垂直结构

The Vertical Structure of Planet-induced Gaps in Proto-Planetary Discs

R. G. Edgar, A. C. Quillen

摘要:

嵌在拱星盘中的巨行星预计会在这些盘中打开缺口。我们研究的间隙边缘的垂直结构。我们发现,行星激励螺旋臂与显着(马赫数的一半)垂直运动的气体,并讨论这些运动的影响。特别是,螺旋臂将引起强烈的垂直搅拌的灰尘,使边缘出现“膨胀”相对于大部分的光盘。红色观测(对尘埃敏感)将主要由来自圆盘厚内边缘的光控制。亚毫米观测(对气体速度敏感)在“湍流”运动(实际上是由螺旋臂通过引起的有序运动)中似乎是热的,但在化学中是冷的。亚毫米级的星周盘解析图甚至可以直接探测到旋臂。

英文摘要:

Giant planets embedded in circumstellar discs are expected to open gaps in these discs. We examine the vertical structure of the gap edges. We find that the planet excites spiral arms with significant (Mach number of a half) vertical motion of the gas, and discuss the implications of these motions. In particular, the spiral arms will induce strong vertical stirring of the dust, making the edge appeared `puffed up' relative to the bulk of the disc. Infra-red observations (sensitive to dust) would be dominated by the light from the thick inner edge of the disc. Sub-millimetre observations (sensitive to gas velocities) would appear to be hot in `turbulent' motions (actually the ordered motion caused by the passage of the spiral arms), but cold in chemistry. Resolved sub-millimetre maps of circumstellar discs might even be able to detect the spiral arms directly.
