摘要:

我们报告了用射电天文学毫米波研究所(IRAM)30米望远镜对1200万年前的V4046 Sgr系统进行的毫米波分子谱线测量的结果。V4046 Sgr是一个紧密的(9 R_sun)、短周期(2.42天)双星,其分量质量几乎相等,约为0.9 M_sun。我们检测到转动跃迁的12 CO 13 CO,HCN,CN,和HCO+。V4046 Sgr的双峰CO谱线轮廓很好地拟合了一个模型,该模型调用了一个外半径为~250 AU的开普勒圆盘,在倾角i = 35度处观察。根据V4046 Sgr CO线和亚毫米级连续通量,我们分别推断出最小圆盘气体和尘埃质量为~13和~20地球质量。如果气相CO高度贫化和/或13 CO非常光学厚,则实际盘气体质量可能大得多。V4046 Sgr的环双星盘与围绕着一颗约800万年前的恒星TW Hya(一个通常被认为是早期太阳星云代表的恒星/盘系统)的盘的整体相似性表明,气体巨行星可能在近距离双星系统中很常见。考虑到V4046 Sgr相对先进的年龄和距离,这些结果为未来的高分辨率成像提供了强大的动力,旨在确定行星系统是否现在围绕其孪生太阳运行。

英文摘要:

We report the results of a mm-wave molecular line survey of the nearby (D ~ 70 pc), 12 Myr-old system V4046 Sgr -- a tight (9 R_sun separation), short-period (2.42 day) binary with nearly equal component masses of ~0.9 M_sun -- conducted with the 30 m telescope of the Institut de Radio Astronomie Millimetrique (IRAM). We detected rotational transitions of 12CO 13CO, HCN, CN, and HCO+. The double-peaked CO line profiles of V4046 Sgr are well fit by a model invoking a Keplerian disk with outer radius of ~250 AU that is viewed at an inclination i = 35 degrees. We infer minimum disk gas and dust masses of ~13 and ~20 Earth masses from the V4046 Sgr CO line and submm continuum fluxes, respectively. The actual disk gas mass could be much larger if the gas-phase CO is highly depleted and/or 13CO is very optically thick. The overall similarity of the circumbinary disk of V4046 Sgr to the disk orbiting the single, ~8 Myr-old star TW Hya -- a star/disk system often regarded as representative of the early solar nebula -- indicates that gas giant planets are likely commonplace among close binary star systems. Given the relatively advanced age and proximity of V4046 Sgr, these results provide strong motivation for future high-resolution imaging designed to ascertain whether a planetary system now orbits its twin suns.
