β型如画碎片盘的毫米成像:小行星带的证据

Millimeter Imaging of the beta Pictoris Debris Disk: Evidence for a Planetesimal Belt

David J. Wilner, Sean M. Andrews, A. Meredith Hughes

摘要:

我们目前的观测在1.3毫米波长的β Picardian碎片盘与光束大小4.3 × 2.6弧秒(83 × 50 AU)的亚毫米阵列。发射显示出两个峰,沿盘面相隔约7 arsec,我们解释为一个高度倾斜的尘埃环或带。一个简单的模型将带中心限制在94+/-8 AU,接近光学散射光斜率的显著突变。我们确定该地区的位置作为主要水库的尘埃生产星子在磁盘。

英文摘要:

We present observations at 1.3 millimeters wavelength of the beta Pictoris debris disk with beam size 4.3 x 2.6 arcsec (83 x 50 AU) from the Submillimeter Array. The emission shows two peaks separated by ~7 arsec along the disk plane, which we interpret as a highly inclined dust ring or belt. A simple model constrains the belt center to 94+/-8 AU, close to the prominent break in slope of the optical scattered light. We identify this region as the location as the main reservoir of dust producing planetesimals in the disk.
