摘要:

有大量的证据表明,盘形成发生在恒星形成的早期阶段,大多数恒星出生在多个系统中;然而,原恒星的多样性和盘搜索受到低分辨率,样本偏差和可变灵敏度的阻碍。我们进行了一个公正的,高灵敏度的卡尔G。Jansky甚大阵列(VLA)对英仙座分子云中所有已知原恒星(n = 94)的巡天(d~230 pc),分辨率~15 AU(0.06”)在8毫米。我们已经发现了候选原恒星盘向17个来源(其中12个处于0级阶段),我们已经发现了三个0级磁盘候选者的<50 AU尺度的子结构,可能是磁盘碎片化的证据。在这次调查中,我们发现了16个新的多重系统(或新的组分);新系统的分离度< 500 AU和3 × < 30 AU。我们还发现了一个双峰分布的分离,峰值在~75 AU和~3000 AU,暗示通过两种不同的机制形成:磁盘和湍流碎片。从这次调查的结果表明,在毫米和厘米波长的原恒星系统的统一,公正的调查的必要性和实用性。

英文摘要:

There is substantial evidence for disk formation taking place during the early stages of star formation and for most stars being born in multiple systems; however, protostellar multiplicity and disk searches have been hampered by low resolution, sample bias, and variable sensitivity. We have conducted an unbiased, high-sensitivity Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) survey toward all known protostars (n = 94) in the Perseus molecular cloud (d~230 pc), with a resolution of ~15 AU (0.06") at 8 mm. We have detected candidate protostellar disks toward 17 sources (with 12 of those in the Class 0 stage) and we have found substructure on < 50AU scales for three Class 0 disk candidates, possibly evidence for disk fragmentation. We have discovered 16 new multiple systems (or new components) in this survey; the new systems have separations < 500 AU and 3 by < 30 AU. We also found a bi-modal distribution of separations, with peaks at ~75 AU and ~3000 AU, suggestive of formation through two distinct mechanisms: disk and turbulent fragmentation. The results from this survey demonstrate the necessity and utility of uniform, unbiased surveys of protostellar systems at millimeter and centimeter wavelengths.
