摘要:

在年轻恒星周围具有大尘埃腔的过渡盘是研究行星形成的有希望的目标。先前的研究已经揭示了尘埃空洞内存在气体空洞,暗示着最近形成的巨型行星。然而,这些研究中的许多都偏向于附近恒星形成区域中最明亮的盘,并且不可能获得可以与系外行星种群进行比较的可靠统计数据。本文利用ALMA波段7的0.3”(半径22-30 AU)分辨率的345 GHz连续谱、13 CO和C18 O 3-2观测以及每个源的光谱能量分布,对11个具有大空腔(半径>20 AU)的过渡盘进行了分析。气体和灰尘的表面密度分布使用物理化学模拟代码DALI。这是第一次在恒星形成区的完整盘调查中研究大空腔的过渡盘。尘埃腔的大小范围从20-90 AU半径,并在三种情况下,气体腔也被解决。气体密度的深度下降和大的尘埃空洞大小与巨行星的清理一致。在狼疮中,有大空洞的过渡盘的比例约为11%,这与宽轨道巨行星的系外行星人口研究不一致。此外,我们提出了一个假设的大质量盘演变成过渡盘与大腔的演化路径。

英文摘要:

Transition disks with large dust cavities around young stars are promising targets for studying planet formation. Previous studies have revealed the presence of gas cavities inside the dust cavities hinting at recently formed, giant planets. However, many of these studies are biased towards the brightest disks in the nearby star forming regions, and it is not possible to derive reliable statistics that can be compared with exoplanet populations. We present the analysis of 11 transition disks with large cavities (>20 AU radius) from a complete disk survey of the Lupus star forming region, using ALMA Band 7 observations at 0.3" (22-30 AU radius) resolution of the 345 GHz continuum, 13CO and C18O 3-2 observations and the Spectral Energy Distribution of each source. Gas and dust surface density profiles are derived using the physical-chemical modeling code DALI. This is the first study of transition disks of large cavities within a complete disk survey within a star forming region. The dust cavity sizes range from 20-90 AU radius and in three cases, a gas cavity is resolved as well. The deep drops in gas density and large dust cavity sizes are consistent with clearing by giant planets. The fraction of transition disks with large cavities in Lupus is ~11%, which is inconsistent with exoplanet population studies of giant planets at wide orbits. Furthermore, we present a hypothesis of an evolutionary path for large massive disks evolving into transition disks with large cavities.
