摘要:

尘埃捕获加速了尘埃粒子的凝聚,因此它代表了形成星子的第一步。我们报告的$H$带(1.6微米)线性偏振观测和0.87毫米的干涉连续观测对一个过渡盘LkHa 330。结果,在$H$带发射中检测到一对螺旋臂,并且在0.87 mm连续发射中检测到不对称(潜在的臂状)结构。我们讨论了旋臂和不对称结构的起源,并提出一个巨大的看不见的行星是最合理的解释。还通过不透明度指数(β)研究了粉尘捕获和晶粒生长导致不对称结构的可能性,通过绘制从我们的SMA观察到的0.87 mm和从文献中的1.3 mm之间观察到的SED斜率。结果表明,颗粒是难以区分的ISM类尘埃在东侧($beta = 2.0 pm 0.5$),但在西侧$beta = 0.7^{+0.5}_{-0.4}$小得多,表明差异的尘埃大小分布之间的磁盘的两侧。结合近红外和亚毫米波的观测结果,我们推测旋臂存在于盘的上表面,而非对称结构存在于盘的内部。未来的观测在厘米波长和差分偏振成像在其他波段(Y至K)的极端AO成像仪需要了解如何大尘埃颗粒的形成,并进一步探索尘埃盘中的分布。

英文摘要:

Dust trapping accelerates the coagulation of dust particles, and thus it represents an initial step toward the formation of planetesimals. We report $H$-band (1.6 um) linear polarimetric observations and 0.87 mm interferometric continuum observations toward a transitional disk around LkHa 330. As results, a pair of spiral arms were detected in the $H$-band emission and an asymmetric (potentially arm-like) structure was detected in the 0.87 mm continuum emission. We discuss the origin of the spiral arm and the asymmetric structure, and suggest that a massive unseen planet is the most plausible explanation. The possibility of dust trapping and grain growth causing the asymmetric structure was also investigated through the opacity index (beta) by plotting the observed SED slope between 0.87 mm from our SMA observation and 1.3 mm from literature. The results imply that grains are indistinguishable from ISM-like dust in the east side ($beta = 2.0 pm 0.5$), but much smaller in the west side $beta = 0.7^{+0.5}_{-0.4}$, indicating differential dust size distribution between the two sides of the disk. Combining the results of near-infrared and submillimeter observations, we conjecture that the spiral arms exist at the upper surface and an asymmetric structure resides in the disk interior. Future observations at centimeter wavelengths and differential polarization imaging in other bands (Y to K) with extreme AO imagers are required to understand how large dust grains form and to further explore the dust distribution in the disk.
