摘要:

HD 142527是一个前过渡盘,有强有力的证据表明正在形成行星形成。最近的观测显示,它是一个带有旋臂的破裂盘,一个尘埃耗尽的内腔,可能存在着将气体从外盘推向中央恒星的气流。我们的目标是获得磁盘的形态,以及在其表面的灰尘的分布和属性。我们已经获得了HD 142527在$H$和$Ks$波段与NaCo在VLT的偏振差分图像。将这些图像与经典的PSF减法相结合,我们能够推导出该盘的偏振度。在$H$波段,盘的偏振度在10%和25%之间变化。这种结果不能通过含有高度多孔材料的粉尘分布来再现。偏振更好地匹配紧凑的颗粒分布,最大尺寸至少达到几微米,与以前的观察结果一致。我们还观察到两个区域的低排放(零)的总和偏振强度。特别是,这些零点之一是在大致相同的位置,在亚毫米连续发射ALMA波段-7(345 GHz)观测观察到的马蹄形的最大值。我们讨论了这两个功能之间可能存在的联系。

英文摘要:

HD 142527 is a pre-transition disk with strong evidence for on-going planet formation. Recent observations show a disrupted disk with spiral arms, a dust-depleted inner cavity and the possible presence of gas streams driving gas from the outer disk towards the central star. We aim to derive the morphology of the disk, as well as the distribution and properties of the dust at its surface. We have obtained polarized differential images of HD 142527 at $H$ and $Ks$ bands with NaCo at the VLT. Combining these images with classical PSF-subtraction, we are able to derive the polarization degree of this disk. At $H$ band the polarization degree of the disk varies between 10% and 25%. This result cannot be reproduced by dust distributions containing highly porous material. The polarization is better matched by distributions of compact particles, with maximum sizes at least up to a few microns, in agreement with previous observations. We also observe two regions of low emission (nulls) in total and in polarized intensity. In particular, one of these nulls is at roughly the same position as the maximum of the horse-shoe shape observed in sub-millimeter continuum emission ALMA Band-7 (345 GHz) observations. We discuss the possible link between both features.
