Millimeter-wavelength polarization measurements offer a promising method for probing the geometry of magnetic fields in circumstellar disks. Single dish observations and theoretical work have hinted that magnetic field geometries might be predominantly toroidal, and that disks should exhibit millimeter polarization fractions of 2-3%. While subsequent work has not confirmed these high polarization fractions, either the wavelength of observation or the target sources differed from the original observations. Here we present new polarimetric observations of three nearby circumstellar disks at 2" resolution with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) and the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter Astronomy (CARMA). We reobserve GM Aur and DG Tau, the systems in which millimeter polarization detections have been claimed. Despite higher resolution and sensitivity at wavelengths similar to the previous observations, the new observations do not show significant polarization. We also add observations of a new HAeBe system, MWC 480. These observations demonstrate that a very low (<0.5%) polarization fraction is probably common at large (>100 AU) scales in bright circumstellar disks. We suggest that high-resolution observations may be worthwhile to probe magnetic field structure on linear distances smaller than the disk scale height, as well as in regions closer to the star that may have larger MRI-induced magnetic field strengths.

The Circumstellar Disk Mass Distribution in the Orion Trapezium Cluster
我们提出了一个亚毫米干涉测量的结果，在猎户座梯形星团的拱星盘。我们观察到880微米的连续发射从55个磁盘使用亚毫米阵列，并检测到28个磁盘以上的3西格玛意义与通量之间的6-70毫焦和均方根噪声之间的0.7-5.3毫焦。尘埃质量和上限来自于从较长波长观测外推的自由-自由发射以上的亚毫米过量。在我们的0.0084太阳质量的完整性极限之上，盘的质量分布类似于金牛座-御夫座和蛇夫座的II类盘，但在0.04太阳质量处被截断。我们发现，盘的质量和半径分布是一致的梯形星团磁盘的形成~ 100万年前和随后的光蒸发的紫外辐射场从θ-1 Ori C。在金牛座和四边形星团中，半径在60天文单位内的最小质量太阳星云所占的比例估计为11-13%，这表明在这个巨大的恒星形成区域形成太阳系的潜力并没有受到影响。
