摘要:

利用阿塔卡玛大型毫米/亚毫米波阵在343 GHz连续谱中探测到两个近边对原恒星盘的偏振辐射,分辨率约为50 au(~ 0.12”)。一个圆盘位于HH 212(0类)原恒星系统中,另一个圆盘位于HH 111(早期I类)原恒星系统中。极化分数约为1%。HH 212的圆盘半径约为60 au。辐射主要从盘的近侧被检测到。偏振方向几乎垂直于盘主轴,与自散射或发射一致的颗粒对齐的极向场周围的外边缘的磁盘,因为光学深度效应和温度梯度;极向场的存在下,将有利于发射盘风,其中已经有初步的证据在同一来源。HH 111 VLA 1的圆盘具有更大的半径,约为220 au,因此分辨率更高。偏振方向在近侧几乎垂直于圆盘主轴,但在远侧更多地沿着主轴,在那里形成大约一半的椭圆图案。看来,环向和极向磁场可以解释极化的近端和远端的磁盘,分别。然而,偏振也可能是由于自散射。此外,尘埃颗粒的辐射通量排列可能在远侧发挥作用。我们的观察揭示了磁盘极化模式的多样性,应考虑在未来的建模工作。

英文摘要:

Polarized emission is detected in two young nearly edge-on protostellar disks in 343 GHz continuum at ~ 50 au (~ 0.12") resolution with Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array. One disk is in HH 212 (Class 0) and the other in HH 111 (early Class I) protostellar system. Polarization fraction is ~ 1%. The disk in HH 212 has a radius of ~ 60 au. The emission is mainly detected from the nearside of the disk. The polarization orientations are almost perpendicular to the disk major axis, consistent with either self-scattering or emission by grains aligned with a poloidal field around the outer edge of the disk because of optical depth effect and temperature gradient; the presence of a poloidal field would facilitate the launching of a disk wind, for which there is already tentative evidence in the same source. The disk of HH 111 VLA 1 has a larger radius of ~ 220 au and is thus more resolved. The polarization orientations are almost perpendicular to the disk major axis in the nearside, but more along the major axis in the farside, forming roughly half of an elliptical pattern there. It appears that toroidal and poloidal magnetic field may explain the polarization on the near and far side of the disk, respectively. However, it is also possible that the polarization is due to self-scattering. In addition, alignment of dust grains by radiation flux may play a role in the farside. Our observations reveal a diversity of disk polarization patterns that should be taken into account in future modeling efforts.
