摘要:

我们使用一个简单的,自洽的,自引力半解析盘模型进行检查的参数空间中,自引力盘可能存在。然后,我们使用蒙特卡罗辐射转移生成这些自引力光盘的合成ALMA图像,以确定该参数空间的子集,在该参数空间中,它们生成的非轴对称结构是潜在的ALMA检测。最近,已经观察到几个过渡盘具有延伸到大半径的非轴对称结构。有人建议,这些不对称性的一个可能的起源可能是螺旋密度波诱导的磁盘自重力。我们使用我们的简单模型,看看这些光盘存在的参数空间的自引力可以可行地解释这些螺旋功能的区域。我们发现,自引力在这些系统中发挥作用,通常需要一个光盘质量约一个数量级高于观察到的光盘质量的系统。与潮汐相互作用产生的振幅相比,在局部近似中由自引力产生的螺旋振幅相对较弱,或者由于盘中嵌入的行星而在林德布拉德共振处发射的螺旋。因此,我们最终警告不要将螺旋特征诊断为由于自重力引起的,除非椎间盘存在于参数空间的非常狭窄的区域中,在该区域中螺旋波振幅足够大以产生可检测的特征,但不至于大到导致椎间盘碎裂。

英文摘要:

We use a simple, self-consistent, self-gravitating semi-analytic disc model to conduct an examination of the parameter space in which self-gravitating discs may exist. We then use Monte-Carlo radiative transfer to generate synthetic ALMA images of these self-gravitating discs to determine the subset of this parameter space in which they generate non-axisymmetric structure that is potentially detectable by ALMA. Recently, several transition discs have been observed to have non-axisymmetric structure that extends out to large radii. It has been suggested that one possible origin of these asymmetries could be spiral density waves induced by disc self-gravity. We use our simple model to see if these discs exist in the region of parameter space where self-gravity could feasibly explain these spiral features. We find that for self-gravity to play a role in these systems typically requires a disc mass around an order of magnitude higher than the observed disc masses for the systems. The spiral amplitudes produced by self-gravity in the local approximation are relatively weak when compared to amplitudes produced by tidal interactions, or spirals launched at Lindblad resonances due to embedded planets in the disc. As such, we ultimately caution against diagnosing spiral features as being due to self-gravity, unless the disc exists in the very narrow region of parameter space where the spiral wave amplitudes are large enough to produce detectable features, but not so large as to cause the disc to fragment.
