摘要:

我们提出了0.25角秒分辨率(35金)ALMA 1.3毫米尘埃偏振观测37年轻恒星物体(YSO)的蛇夫座云。这些数据包括所有嵌入在云和几个平面和II类对象的原恒星,以产生最大的,均匀的研究磁盘尺度上的尘埃极化。本研究的目的是研究尘埃偏振下降到磁盘规模。我们发现,14/37(38%)的YSO中检测到偏振。这些源中的九个具有均匀偏振角,并且四个源具有方位角偏振。具有均匀偏振的源倾向于具有比具有方位角偏振(<60度)的源更陡的倾斜(> 60度)。大多数(9/14)的检测源的偏振形态和磁盘属性一致的尘埃自散射光学厚磁盘。其余的源可以替代地追踪磁场。它们通过将偏振矢量旋转90度推断出的场方向主要为极向或沙漏形。我们没有发现任何证据表明,有一个强大的环向场分量对我们的任何磁盘。对于偏振未检测到的23个YSO,其中大约一半的3-sigma上限<2%。这些震源也倾向于具有< 60度的倾角,并且它们通常是紧凑的。由于较低倾斜源倾向于具有方位角偏振,这些YSO可能由于我们的光束内的未分辨偏振结构而在偏振中未被检测到。我们建议,磁盘与倾角> 60度是未来的尘埃自散射的偏振研究的最佳候选人,因为这些系统通常会显示出均匀的偏振矢量,不需要非常高的分辨率来解决。我们发布的连续和偏振图像的所有来源与此出版物。整个调查的数据可以从Dataverse获得。

英文摘要:

We present 0.25 arcsec resolution (35 au) ALMA 1.3 mm dust polarization observations for 37 young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Ophiuchus cloud. These data encompass all the embedded protostars in the cloud and several Flat and Class II objects to produce the largest, homogeneous study of dust polarization on disk scales to date. The goal of this study is to study dust polarization down to disk scales. We find that 14/37 (38%) of the YSOs are detected in polarization. Nine of these sources have uniform polarization angles and four sources have azimuthal polarization. The sources with uniform polarization tend to have steeper inclinations (> 60 degree) than those with azimuthal polarization (< 60 degree). The majority (9/14) of the detected sources have polarization morphologies and disk properties consistent with dust self-scattering in optically thick disks. The remaining sources may be instead tracing magnetic fields. Their inferred field directions from rotating the polarization vectors by 90 degree are mainly poloidal or hourglass shaped. We find no evidence of a strong toroidal field component toward any of our disks. For the 23 YSOs that are undetected in polarization, roughly half of them have 3-sigma upper limits of < 2%. These sources also tend to have inclinations < 60 degree and they are generally compact. Since lower inclination sources tend to have azimuthal polarization, these YSOs may be undetected in polarization due to unresolved polarization structure within our beam. We propose that disks with inclinations > 60 degree are the best candidates for future polarization studies of dust self-scattering as these systems will generally show uniform polarization vectors that do not require very high resolution to resolve. We release the continuum and polarization images for all the sources with this publication. Data from the entire survey can be obtained from Dataverse.
