摘要:

过渡盘是年轻恒星周围的尘埃和气体结构,具有大的内腔,其中可能发生行星形成。在毫米波段的尘埃连续辐射中观察到不平衡的尘埃分布。这些不对称的结构可以解释为增强的气体密度涡旋的结果,其中尘埃被捕获,可能促进快速增长到微行星尺度。AB Aur拥有一个过渡盘,具有清晰的马蹄形形态,强烈表明存在尘埃陷阱。我们的目标是研究它的形成和对气体化学的可能影响。我们用NOEMA干涉仪对1mm连续谱尘埃辐射和13CO J = 2-> 1,C18O J = 2-> 1,SO J = 56-> 45和H2CO J = 303-> 202转动谱线成像。建立线积分强度比图像来研究盘中的化学变化。我们用单点(n,T)化学模型研究了尘埃捕集器中气态CO,H_2CO和SO的寿命。我们的模型表明,当密度大于10^7 cm ^-3时,SO分子在不到100万年的时间内就被耗尽(直接冻结或转化为SO2,然后被冻出)。朝向灰尘阱的较低SO丰度可以指示更大部分的气体处于高密度环境中。气体动力学、晶粒生长和气体化学在行星形成过程中相互耦合。由于SO丰度对气体密度的强烈依赖性,硫化学可以用作探测未来行星诞生地的化学诊断。然而,化学模型固有的大的不确定性和磁盘的物理结构和初始条件的有限知识是重要的缺点。

英文摘要:

Transitional disks are structures of dust and gas around young stars with large inner cavities in which planet formation may occur. Lopsided dust distributions are observed in the dust continuum emission at millimeter wavelengths. These asymmetrical structures can be explained as the result of an enhanced gas density vortex where the dust is trapped potentially promoting the rapid growth to the planetesimal scale. AB Aur hosts a transitional disk with a clear horseshoe morphology which strongly suggests the presence of a dust trap. Our goal is to investigate its formation and the possible effects on the gas chemistry. We used the NOEMA interferometer to image the 1mm continuum dust emission and the 13CO J=2->1, C18O J=2->1, SO J=56->45 and H2CO J=303->202 rotational lines. Line integrated intensity ratio images are built to investigate the chemical changes within the disk. We have used a single point (n,T) chemical model to investigate the lifetime of gaseous CO, H2CO and SO in the dust trap. Our model shows that for densities >10^7 cm^-3, the SO molecules are depleted (directly frozen or converted into SO2 and then frozen out) in less than 0.1 Myr. The lower SO abundance towards the dust trap could indicate that a larger fraction of the gas is in a high density environment. Gas dynamics, grain growth and gas chemistry are coupled in the planet formation process. Because of the strong dependence of SO abundance on the gas density, the sulfur chemistry can be used as a chemical diagnostic to detect the birthsites of future planets. However, the large uncertainties inherent to chemical models and the limited knowledge of the disk physical structure and initial conditions are important drawbacks.
