摘要:

我们目前的多波长观测和辐射转移模型的一个新发现的大规模的气体和尘埃盘,这是目前已知的最大的磁盘。在高分辨率近红外(NIR)图像中,几乎可以从侧面看到这个圆盘,它看起来像是一条高不透明度的黑暗通道,与双极反射星云相交。根据分子线观测,我们估计到该物体的距离为3.5千秒差距。这导致暗通道的大小约为10500 AU,但由于阴影效应,真实的磁盘大小可能更小。在斯皮策/IRAC 3.6微米的图像中,双极反射星云的细长形状仍然保留下来,大部分的通量似乎来自于由于盘的轻微倾斜而可以检测到的盘区域。在较长的IRAC波长下,通量主要来自直接穿过尘埃带的中心区域。用SMA对毫米波长的尘埃连续辐射进行干涉观测证实了这一发现,因为未分辨的毫米辐射的峰值与斯皮策/IRAC 5.8微米通量的峰值和近红外图像中看到的暗带中心完全一致。同时获得的CO数据显示,沿着反射星云的北部有一个分子外流,这似乎是外流腔。一个细长的气体盘组件也被检测到,并显示出旋转的迹象。发射垂直于分子流出,因此平行于NIR图像中的暗带,但甚至比暗带更长。根据尘埃连续体和CO观测,我们估计一个磁盘质量的几个太阳质量取决于基本的假设。无论盘状结构是一个实际的吸积盘或更大规模的扁平信封或伪盘是很难区分与当前的数据集(删节)。

英文摘要:

We present multi-wavelengths observations and a radiative transfer model of a newly discovered massive circumstellar disk of gas and dust which is one of the largest disks known today. Seen almost edge-on, the disk is resolved in high-resolution near-infrared (NIR) images and appears as a dark lane of high opacity intersecting a bipolar reflection nebula. Based on molecular line observations we estimate the distance to the object to be 3.5 kpc. This leads to a size for the dark lane of ~10500 AU but due to shadowing effects the true disk size could be smaller. In Spitzer/IRAC 3.6 micron images the elongated shape of the bipolar reflection nebula is still preserved and the bulk of the flux seems to come from disk regions that can be detected due to the slight inclination of the disk. At longer IRAC wavelengths, the flux is mainly coming from the central regions penetrating directly through the dust lane. Interferometric observations of the dust continuum emission at millimeter wavelengths with the SMA confirm this finding as the peak of the unresolved mm-emission coincides perfectly with the peak of the Spitzer/IRAC 5.8 micron flux and the center of the dark lane seen in the NIR images. Simultaneously acquired CO data reveal a molecular outflow along the northern part of the reflection nebula which seems to be the outflow cavity. An elongated gaseous disk component is also detected and shows signs of rotation. The emission is perpendicular to the molecular outflow and thus parallel to but even more extended than the dark lane in the NIR images. Based on the dust continuum and the CO observations we estimate a disk mass of up to a few solar masses depending on the underlying assumptions. Whether the disk-like structure is an actual accretion disk or rather a larger-scale flattened envelope or pseudodisk is difficult to discriminate with the current dataset (abridged).
