摘要:

背景:旋转支撑的盘在恒星形成过程中至关重要。它们何时形成以及哪些因素影响或阻碍它们的形成的问题已经被研究过,但在很大程度上没有答案。需要对早期的YSO进行观测,以探测盘的形成。目的:VLA 1623是一个三重非同时代的原恒星系统,具有垂直于外流的弱磁场,其0级分量VLA 1623 A显示出连续的盘状结构,并具有线发射的旋转特征。我们的目标是确定这种结构是否是部分或全部旋转支撑盘,即开普勒盘,以及它的特征。研究方法:本文介绍了ALMA第0周期早期科学1.3 mm连续谱和扩展配置中的C $^{18}$ O(2-1)观测,并使用PV图和薄盘模型加上前景吸收对盘状结构进行了分析。结果如下:C $^{18}$ O线发射的PV图表明存在一个半径至少为50 AU的旋转支撑组件。线发射的运动学模型表明,180 AU外的盘实际上是旋转支撑的,旋转被开普勒旋转很好地描述为至少150 AU,中心源质量为$\sim$ 0.2 M $_{sun}$,倾角为55 $^{\circ}$。纯粹的下落和守恒角动量旋转模型被排除在外。结论:VLA 1623 A是一个非常年轻的0级源,它是一个外半径为$R_{\rm out}$ = 180 AU的圆盘,其开普勒速度结构至少为150 AU。弱磁场和最近在rho蛇夫座这一地区的分裂可能发挥了主导作用,在磁盘的形成。

英文摘要:

Context: Rotationally supported disks are critical in the star formation process. The questions of when do they form and what factors influence or hinder their formation have been studied but are largely unanswered. Observations of early stage YSOs are needed to probe disk formation. Aims: VLA1623 is a triple non-coeval protostellar system, with a weak magnetic field perpendicular to the outflow, whose Class 0 component, VLA1623A, shows a disk-like structure in continuum with signatures of rotation in line emission. We aim to determine whether this structure is in part or in whole a rotationally supported disk, i.e. a Keplerian disk, and what are its characteristics. Methods: ALMA Cycle 0 Early Science 1.3 mm continuum and C$^{18}$O (2-1) observations in the extended configuration are presented here and used to perform an analysis of the disk-like structure using PV diagrams and thin disk modelling with the addition of foreground absorption. Results: The PV diagrams of the C$^{18}$O line emission suggest the presence of a rotationally supported component with a radius of at least 50 AU. Kinematical modelling of the line emission shows that the disk out to 180 AU is actually rotationally supported, with the rotation being well described by Keplerian rotation out to at least 150 AU, and the central source mass to be $\sim$0.2 M$_{sun}$ for an inclination of 55$^{\circ}$. Pure infall and conserved angular momentum rotation models are excluded. Conclusions: VLA1623A, a very young Class 0 source, presents a disk with an outer radius $R_{\rm out}$ = 180 AU with a Keplerian velocity structure out to at least 150 AU. The weak magnetic fields and recent fragmentation in this region of rho Ophiuchus may have played a lead role in the formation of the disk.
