摘要:

我们提出了赫歇尔空间天文台PACS光谱的GQ Lup,一个原行星盘在狼疮恒星形成区。通过对0.3μm ~ 1.3mm的SED拟合,我们建立了该系统的温度和密度结构的自洽模型,发现虽然该系统已有300万年的历史,但其尘埃并未沉降到中平面。该磁盘具有径向梯度的硅酸盐粉尘的组成和粒度,与大的无定形颗粒在上层的内盘和增强的亚微米,在外盘的晶粒。我们在63μm附近的Herschel PACS B2 A波段检测到过量的发射,并将其与{ \sim }15至70μm结晶水冰粒的组合进行建模,这些冰粒的尺寸分布与冰再冷凝增强的颗粒生长一致,质量分数为太阳系的一半。结晶水冰和硅酸盐在外盘的组合暗示了盘宽加热事件或星子碰撞。如果得到证实,这将是赫歇尔首次探测到水冰。

英文摘要:

We present Herschel Space Observatory PACS spectra of GQ Lup, a protoplanetary disk in the Lupus star-forming region. Through SED fitting from 0.3μm to 1.3mm, we construct a self-consistent model of this system's temperature and density structures, finding that although it is 3 Myr old, its dust has not settled to the midplane substantially. The disk has a radial gradient in both the silicate dust composition and grain size, with large amorphous grains in the upper layers of the inner disk and an enhancement of submicron, crystalline grains in the outer disk. We detect an excess of emission in the Herschel PACS B2A band near 63μm and model it with a combination of {\sim}15 to 70μm crystalline water ice grains with a size distribution consistent with ice recondensation-enhanced grain growth and a mass fraction half of that of our solar system. The combination of crystalline water ice and silicates in the outer disk is suggestive of disk-wide heating events or planetesimal collisions. If confirmed, this would be the first detection of water ice by Herschel.
