摘要:

氮分馏通常用于评估太阳系挥发物的热历史。利用ALMA,首次可以直接测量行星系统组装过程中常见分子中的14 N/15 N比率。我们提出了ALMA观测的H 13 CN和HC 15 N J=3-2线在0”.5角分辨率,对样本的6个原行星盘,选择跨越一系列的恒星和磁盘结构的属性。采用典型的12 C/13 C比为70,我们发现在5/6的盘(3个金牛座T盘和2个赫比格Ae盘)中存在类似彗星的14 N/15 N比为80-160,并且对其中一个金牛座T盘(IM Lup)缺乏约束。金牛座T和赫比格Ae磁盘之间没有系统的差异,或者在样品内的完整和过渡磁盘之间没有系统的差异。此外,在样品中未观察到圆盘平均D/H和14 N/15 N比率之间的相关性。其中一个圆盘V4046 Sgr呈现出异常明亮的HCN同位素发射,使我们能够模拟H13 CN和HC 15 N的径向分布。我们发现了初步的证据,增加14 N/15 N的比率与半径,表明选择性的光解离在内盘是重要的,在设置14 N/15 N的比率在行星形成。

英文摘要:

Nitrogen fractionation is commonly used to assess the thermal history of Solar System volatiles. With ALMA it is for the first time possible to directly measure 14N/15N ratios in common molecules during the assembly of planetary systems. We present ALMA observations of the H13CN and HC15N J=3-2 lines at 0".5 angular resolution, toward a sample of six protoplanetary disks, selected to span a range of stellar and disk structure properties. Adopting a typical 12C/13C ratio of 70, we find comet-like 14N/15N ratios of 80-160 in 5/6 of the disks (3 T Tauri and 2 Herbig Ae disks) and lack constraints for one of the T Tauri disks (IM Lup). There are no systematic differences between T Tauri and Herbig Ae disks, or between full and transition disks within the sample. In addition, no correlation is observed between disk-averaged D/H and 14N/15N ratios in the sample. One of the disks, V4046 Sgr, presents unusually bright HCN isotopologue emission, enabling us to model the radial profiles of H13CN and HC15N. We find tentative evidence of an increasing 14N/15N ratio with radius, indicating that selective photodissociation in the inner disk is important in setting the 14N/15N ratio during planet formation.
