摘要:

使用8.2米斯巴鲁望远镜上的冷却中红外照相机和光谱仪,在24.6\,$μ$ m处对AB Aur周围的圆盘进行了成像和解析。源尺寸的高斯半峰全宽估计为90 $\pm$ 6 AU,表明盘在24.6\,$μ$ m处比在较短波长处更向外延伸。为了解释扩展的24.6\,$μ$ m图像,我们考虑一个磁盘的边界半径$R_c$内,这是由无线电观测,建议减少内部区域约100 AU的恒星内的表面密度降低。引入内盘的表面密度降低因子$f_c$,我们确定与观测到的径向强度分布在24.6 μ m处的最佳匹配是在$μ$ =88 AU和$f_c$ =0.01时实现的。我们认为,在24.6\,$μ$ m的扩展发射是由于增强的发射从壁状结构的边界半径(外盘的内边缘),这是由于在$R_c$的表面密度的跳跃。这种减小的内盘和几何上厚的外盘结构也可以解释在较短波长下更像点的性质。我们还注意到,这个盘的几何形状在性质上类似于一个前过渡盘,这表明AB Aur盘是在一个前过渡盘阶段。

英文摘要:

The disk around AB Aur was imaged and resolved at 24.6\,$μ$m using the Cooled Mid-Infrared Camera and Spectrometer on the 8.2m Subaru Telescope. The gaussian full-width at half-maximum of the source size is estimated to be 90 $\pm$ 6 AU, indicating that the disk extends further out at 24.6\,$μ$m than at shorter wavelengths. In order to interpret the extended 24.6\,$μ$m image, we consider a disk with a reduced surface density within a boundary radius $R_c$, which is motivated by radio observations that suggest a reduced inner region within about 100 AU from the star. Introducing the surface density reduction factor $f_c$ for the inner disk, we determine that the best match with the observed radial intensity profile at 24.6\,$μ$m is achieved with $R_c$=88 AU and $f_c$=0.01. We suggest that the extended emission at 24.6\,$μ$m is due to the enhanced emission from a wall-like structure at the boundary radius (the inner edge of the outer disk), which is caused by a jump in the surface density at $R_c$. Such reduced inner disk and geometrically thick outer disk structure can also explain the more point-like nature at shorter wavelengths. We also note that this disk geometry is qualitatively similar to a pre-transitional disk, suggesting that the AB Aur disk is in a pre-transitional disk phase.
