摘要:

我们目前的亚弧秒分辨率观测的连续辐射与GG头四星系统在1.3,2.8,7.3,和50毫米的波长。这些数据证实,GG头A的二进制包围的circumbinary环在半径为235 AU的半高宽约60 AU。我们没有发现环的光谱形状中存在径向梯度的明确证据,这表明粒度分布在~0.1”的角尺度上是空间均匀的。一个中心点源,可能与主要成分(GG Tau Aa)有关,表现出尘埃和自由-自由发射的复合光谱。在低质量恒星GG Tau Ba附近观测到7.3毫米的微弱辐射,尽管其来源仍然不确定。使用这些测量的解决,多频发射结构的GG头A系统,模型的远红外线到无线电频谱的发展,把约束的粒度分布和尘埃质量的环双星环。环谱中存在的不可忽略的曲率意味着最大粒径为1-10 mm,尽管我们无法对分布形状施加强约束。相应的尘埃质量为30-300 M地球,温度为20-30 K。我们讨论了在大半径的窄环中相对大的颗粒的这种显著浓度如何可能在较高气体压力的局部区域中产生(即,一个粒子“陷阱”)位于环双星盘的内缘附近。

英文摘要:

We present sub-arcsecond resolution observations of continuum emission associated with the GG Tau quadruple star system at wavelengths of 1.3, 2.8, 7.3, and 50 mm. These data confirm that the GG Tau A binary is encircled by a circumbinary ring at a radius of 235 AU with a FWHM width of ~60 AU. We find no clear evidence for a radial gradient in the spectral shape of the ring, suggesting that the particle size distribution is spatially homogeneous on angular scales of ~0.1". A central point source, likely associated with the primary component (GG Tau Aa), exhibits a composite spectrum from dust and free-free emission. Faint emission at 7.3 mm is observed toward the low-mass star GG Tau Ba, although its origin remains uncertain. Using these measurements of the resolved, multifrequency emission structure of the GG Tau A system, models of the far-infrared to radio spectrum are developed to place constraints on the grain size distribution and dust mass in the circumbinary ring. The non-negligible curvature present in the ring spectrum implies a maximum particle size of 1-10 mm, although we are unable to place strong constraints on the distribution shape. The corresponding dust mass is 30-300 M_earth, at a temperature of 20-30 K. We discuss how this significant concentration of relatively large particles in a narrow ring at a large radius might be produced in a local region of higher gas pressures (i.e., a particle "trap") located near the inner edge of the circumbinary disk.
