摘要:

我们提出了新的谱线观测的CH 3 CN分子的吸积盘周围的大质量原恒星IRAS 20126+4104与亚毫米阵列,第一次测量磁盘密度,温度和旋转速度具有足够的分辨率(0.37”,相当于~600 AU),以评估通过托姆雷-Q参数盘的引力稳定性。我们的观测结果解决了中央2000 AU区域,该区域显示出随着上态能量的增加而变陡的速度梯度,这表明更靠近恒星的较热气体的旋转速度增加。这种自旋向上的运动是在旋转支撑的磁盘吸积流的特点。我们比较观察到的数据与合成图像立方体的三维辐射转移模型描述了一个薄的喇叭状磁盘在开普勒运动的离心半径内的角动量守恒吸积流包围。在光度为1.3 × 10 ^4 Lsun的条件下,优化后的模型给出了一个质量为1.5 Msun、半径为858 AU、围绕12.0 Msun的原恒星旋转的圆盘,圆盘的质量吸积率为3.9 × 10 ^{-5} Msun/yr。我们的研究发现,与一些理论预期相反,盘是热的和稳定的破碎与Q > 2.8在所有半径,允许一个平稳的吸积流。这些结果首次提出了大质量原恒星盘中引力不稳定性的约束条件,这些不稳定性与通过碎裂形成伴星和行星系统密切相关。

英文摘要:

We present new spectral line observations of the CH3CN molecule in the accretion disk around the massive protostar IRAS 20126+4104 with the Submillimeter Array that for the first time measure the disk density, temperature, and rotational velocity with sufficient resolution (0.37", equivalent to ~600 AU) to assess the gravitational stability of the disk through the Toomre-Q parameter. Our observations resolve the central 2000 AU region that shows steeper velocity gradients with increasing upper state energy, indicating an increase in the rotational velocity of the hotter gas nearer the star. Such spin-up motions are characteristics of an accretion flow in a rotationally supported disk. We compare the observed data with synthetic image cubes produced by three-dimensional radiative transfer models describing a thin flared disk in Keplerian motion enveloped within the centrifugal radius of an angular-momentum-conserving accretion flow. Given a luminosity of 1.3x10^4 Lsun, the optimized model gives a disk mass of 1.5 Msun and a radius of 858 AU rotating about a 12.0 Msun protostar with a disk mass accretion rate of 3.9x10^{-5} Msun/yr. Our study finds that, in contrast to some theoretical expectations, the disk is hot and stable to fragmentation with Q > 2.8 at all radii which permits a smooth accretion flow. These results put forward the first constraints on gravitational instabilities in massive protostellar disks, which are closely connected to the formation of companion stars and planetary systems by fragmentation.
