摘要:

十多年来,长蛇座TW过渡盘的内腔结构一直是争论的主题。用在不同波长下获得的数据对圆盘进行建模,导致了各种各样的圆盘结构。不同的模型并不矛盾,相反,它们可能会指出在圆盘中发生的物理过程的不同方面,例如尘埃生长和行星形成。我们的目标是再次研究过渡盘的结构,并找到在多大程度上我们可以调和明显的模型差异。从近红外到厘米波长收集了大量高角分辨率数据。我们研究了现有的圆盘模型,建立了一个新的自洽辐射传输模型。采用遗传拟合算法实现了参数拟合的自动化。简单的磁盘模型与垂直的内边缘和径向均匀的尘埃成分从小到大的颗粒不能复制的组合数据集。对这个简单的圆盘模型作了两个改进:(1)通过指数地减小内部~ 3AU的表面密度来平滑内部边缘;(2)最大的晶粒(>100 μ m)向内部圆盘区域集中。这两种性质都可以与决定原行星盘演化的基本过程联系起来:可能的伴星的塑造和尘埃颗粒生长的不同状态。从近红外到厘米波长的完整干涉数据集需要对TW Hya盘的现有模型进行修订。我们提出了一个新的模型,它结合了以前的模型的特征结构,但偏离在两个关键方面:它没有一个尖锐的边缘在4 AU,和大晶粒的表面密度不同,从较小的晶粒。这是第一个成功的辐射传输为基础的模型,一套完整的干涉数据。

英文摘要:

For over a decade, the structure of the inner cavity in the transition disk of TW Hydrae has been a subject of debate. Modeling the disk with data obtained at different wavelengths has led to a variety of proposed disk structures. Rather than being inconsistent, the individual models might point to the different faces of physical processes going on in disks, such as dust growth and planet formation. Our aim is to investigate the structure of the transition disk again and to find to what extent we can reconcile apparent model differences. A large set of high-angular-resolution data was collected from near-infrared to centimeter wavelengths. We investigated the existing disk models and established a new self-consistent radiative-transfer model. A genetic fitting algorithm was used to automatize the parameter fitting. Simple disk models with a vertical inner rim and a radially homogeneous dust composition from small to large grains cannot reproduce the combined data set. Two modifications are applied to this simple disk model: (1) the inner rim is smoothed by exponentially decreasing the surface density in the inner ~3 AU, and (2) the largest grains (>100 um) are concentrated towards the inner disk region. Both properties can be linked to fundamental processes that determine the evolution of protoplanetary disks: the shaping by a possible companion and the different regimes of dust-grain growth, respectively. The full interferometric data set from near-infrared to centimeter wavelengths requires a revision of existing models for the TW Hya disk. We present a new model that incorporates the characteristic structures of previous models but deviates in two key aspects: it does not have a sharp edge at 4 AU, and the surface density of large grains differs from that of smaller grains. This is the first successful radiative-transfer-based model for a full set of interferometric data.
