摘要:

我们提出了高分辨率(0.3”= 16 AU),高信噪比亚毫米波阵列观测870微米(345 GHz)的连续谱和CO J=3- 2线发射从原行星盘周围TW Hya。使用连续谱和线辐射转移计算,这些数据和多波长光谱能量分布一起分析的情况下,简单的二维参数磁盘结构模型。在径向不变的尘埃人口和(垂直整合)的气体尘埃质量比的假设下,我们无法同时再现CO和尘埃观测与模型结构,采用单一的,不同的外边界或平滑(指数)锥形在大半径。相反,我们发现TW Hya盘中毫米级尘埃颗粒的分布在60 AU附近具有相对尖锐的边缘,与CO发射(和光学/红外散射光)相反,其延伸到至少215 AU的更大半径。我们讨论了一些可能的解释所观察到的径向分布的毫米大小的尘埃颗粒和明显的CO尘埃大小的差异,并建议他们可能是在尘埃盘或自然签名的增长和径向漂移的固体,可能是预期的磁盘周围的老前主序星像TW Hya的子结构的标志。

英文摘要:

We present high resolution (0.3" = 16 AU), high signal-to-noise ratio Submillimeter Array observations of the 870 microns (345 GHz) continuum and CO J=3--2 line emission from the protoplanetary disk around TW Hya. Using continuum and line radiative transfer calculations, those data and the multiwavelength spectral energy distribution are analyzed together in the context of simple two-dimensional parametric disk structure models. Under the assumptions of a radially invariant dust population and (vertically integrated) gas-to-dust mass ratio, we are unable to simultaneously reproduce the CO and dust observations with model structures that employ either a single, distinct outer boundary or a smooth (exponential) taper at large radii. Instead, we find that the distribution of millimeter-sized dust grains in the TW Hya disk has a relatively sharp edge near 60 AU, contrary to the CO emission (and optical/infrared scattered light) that extends to a much larger radius of at least 215 AU. We discuss some possible explanations for the observed radial distribution of millimeter-sized dust grains and the apparent CO-dust size discrepancy, and suggest that they may be hallmarks of substructure in the dust disk or natural signatures of the growth and radial drift of solids that might be expected for disks around older pre-main sequence stars like TW Hya.
