摘要:

最近出现的空间分辨毫米和厘米波长偏振仪在原恒星吸积盘可以帮助澄清磁场在这些系统中的角动量输运的作用。迄今为止最好的情况是HL~Tau,其中无法产生一个很好的拟合1.25毫米的数据与垂直和方位角磁场分量的组合被解释为意味着离心驱动风(CDWS)可能不是一个重要的传输机制上的$\sim 10^2\,$ au尺度探测的观测。使用启发式的单场分量光盘和后处理模拟的风驱动盘的合成偏振图,我们证明了一个更好的拟合的数据可以得到,如果径向场分量,CDW机制的一个标志,占主导地位的偏振发射区域。类似的推论以前在模拟银河系中心pc尺度尘埃环的远红外偏振图时也做过。为了使这一解释与原恒星盘的理论模型相一致,这些模型表明风是从中平面以上相对较高的高度发射的,我们提出,大多数偏振发射都来自于一个较高的高度。($\ga 10$\ %)固有偏振度--在小($\la 0.1\,$ mm)颗粒保持悬浮在中平面上方,并且大量的毫米波长发射是由已经沉降到中间平面的较大晶粒产生的-具有低的固有偏振。

英文摘要:

The recent advent of spatially resolved mm- and cm-wavelength polarimetry in protostellar accretion discs could help clarify the role of magnetic fields in the angular momentum transport in these systems. The best case to date is that of HL~Tau, where the inability to produce a good fit to the 1.25-mm data with a combination of vertical and azimuthal magnetic field components was interpreted as implying that centrifugally driven winds (CDWs) are probably not a significant transport mechanism on the $\sim 10^2\,$au scale probed by the observations. Using synthetic polarization maps of heuristic single-field-component discs and of a post-processed simulation of a wind-driving disc, we demonstrate that a much better fit to the data can be obtained if the radial field component, a hallmark of the CDW mechanism, dominates in the polarized emission region. A similar inference was previously made in modelling the far-infrared polarization map of the pc-scale dust ring in the Galactic centre. To reconcile this interpretation with theoretical models of protostellar discs, which indicate that the wind is launched from a comparatively high elevation above the mid-plane, we propose that most of the polarized emission originates -- with a high ($\ga 10$\%) intrinsic degree of polarization -- in small ($\la 0.1\,$mm) grains that remain suspended above the mid-plane, and that the bulk of the mm-wavelength emission is produced -- with low intrinsic polarization -- by larger grains that have settled to the mid-plane.
