摘要:

我们目前非常大的阵列在7毫米的观测跟踪大尘埃颗粒的热辐射的HD 169142原行星盘。我们的图像显示了一个半径约为25-30 AU的增强发射环,其内部区域没有可检测到的7 mm发射。我们将这个环解释为追踪内部空腔或间隙的边缘,可能是由行星或亚恒星伴星造成的。环看起来不对称,西部明显比东部亮。这种方位角的不对称性让人联想到由于捕获大的尘埃颗粒而产生的不平衡结构。我们的观测还揭示了一个外环间隙,半径从~40到~70 AU。与其他来源不同,在7毫米图像中观察到的内腔,环和外部间隙的半径,优先跟踪大(mm/cm大小)尘埃颗粒的分布,与从以前的近红外偏振图像中获得的半径一致,该图像跟踪小(微米大小)尘埃颗粒的散射光。我们的宽带光谱能量分布和7毫米的图像模型来约束磁盘的物理结构。从这个模型中,我们推断在中心空腔内存在一个小的(半径约0.6 AU)残留盘,表明HD 169142盘是一个前过渡盘。尘埃分布在三个环带中,环带之间有间隙,这表明HD 169142的圆盘至少被两颗行星或亚恒星物体破坏。

英文摘要:

We present Very Large Array observations at 7 mm that trace the thermal emission of large dust grains in the HD 169142 protoplanetary disk. Our images show a ring of enhanced emission of radius ~25-30 AU, whose inner region is devoid of detectable 7 mm emission. We interpret this ring as tracing the rim of an inner cavity or gap, possibly created by a planet or a substellar companion. The ring appears asymmetric, with the western part significantly brighter than the eastern one. This azimuthal asymmetry is reminiscent of the lopsided structures that are expected to be produced as a consequence of trapping of large dust grains. Our observations also reveal an outer annular gap at radii from ~40 to ~70 AU. Unlike other sources, the radii of the inner cavity, the ring, and the outer gap observed in the 7 mm images, which trace preferentially the distribution of large (mm/cm sized) dust grains, coincide with those obtained from a previous near-infrared polarimetric image, which traces scattered light from small (micron- sized) dust grains. We model the broad-band spectral energy distribution and the 7 mm images to constrain the disk physical structure. From this modeling we infer the presence of a small (radius ~0.6 AU) residual disk inside the central cavity, indicating that the HD 169142 disk is a pre-transitional disk. The distribution of dust in three annuli with gaps in between them suggests that the disk in HD 169142 is being disrupted by at least two planets or substellar objects.
