摘要:

我们目前的CARMA 1.3毫米连续数据的磁盘周围的年轻棕矮星2 MASS J 044427 +2512的金牛座分子云。CARMA观测的高角分辨率(0.16角秒)使我们能够首次在空间上分辨棕矮星周围尘埃的热辐射。我们分析了干涉仪的振动特性,并采用具有幂律表面密度径向分布的圆盘模型来约束圆盘的外半径。在幂律指数等于或小于1的情况下,我们得到的磁盘半径范围约为15 - 30 AU,而较大的磁盘推断为陡峭的径向配置文件。通过结合这些信息的磁盘空间范围与亚毫米光谱指数的这个来源,我们发现确凿的证据毫米大小的颗粒,或更大,在这个棕矮星磁盘。我们讨论了我们的研究结果的尘埃演化模型在原行星盘和褐矮星形成的影响。

英文摘要:

We present CARMA 1.3 mm continuum data of the disk surrounding the young brown dwarf 2MASS J044427+2512 in the Taurus molecular cloud. The high angular resolution of the CARMA observations (0.16 arcsec) allows us to spatially resolve for the first time the thermal emission from dust around a brown dwarf. We analyze the interferometric visibilities and constrain the disk outer radius adopting disk models with power-law radial profiles of the dust surface density. In the case of a power-law index equal to or lower than 1, we obtain a disk radius in the range of about 15 - 30 AU, while larger disks are inferred for steeper radial profiles. By combining this information on the disk spatial extent with the sub-mm spectral index of this source we find conclusive evidence for mm-sized grains, or larger, in this brown dwarf disk. We discuss the implications of our results on the models of dust evolution in proto-planetary disks and brown dwarf formation.
