摘要:

十多颗年轻恒星在它们周围的原行星盘中拥有旋臂。这种武器的激发机制正在讨论之中。两个主要的假设--伴星-星盘相互作用和引力不稳定性(GI)--预测了螺旋的独特运动。通过使用甚大望远镜(VLT)上的SPHERE仪器对MWC 758旋臂系统在跨越${\sim}5$年的两个历元进行成像,我们首次检验了这两个假设。我们发现,模式的速度的螺旋是不一致的GI起源。我们的测量进一步表明存在一个微弱的“失踪的行星”驱动盘臂。平均螺旋速度是$0.\!^\circ22\pm0.\!^\circ03$ yr $^{-1}$,如果$1.9$ $M_\odot$中心星在圆形轨道上,则指向围绕它的$172_{-14}^{+18}$ au驱动器。此外,我们见证了全球范围内的随时间变化的阴影效应,这可能是源于内部磁盘。

英文摘要:

More than a dozen young stars host spiral arms in their surrounding protoplanetary disks. The excitation mechanisms of such arms are under debate. The two leading hypotheses -- companion-disk interaction and gravitational instability (GI) -- predict distinct motion for spirals. By imaging the MWC 758 spiral arm system at two epochs spanning ${\sim}5$ yr using the SPHERE instrument on the Very Large Telescope (VLT), we test the two hypotheses for the first time. We find that the pattern speeds of the spirals are not consistent with the GI origin. Our measurements further evince the existence of a faint "missing planet" driving the disk arms. The average spiral pattern speed is $0.\!^\circ22\pm0.\!^\circ03$ yr$^{-1}$, pointing to a driver at $172_{-14}^{+18}$ au around a $1.9$ $M_\odot$ central star if it is on a circular orbit. In addition, we witness time varying shadowing effects on a global scale that are likely originated from an inner disk.
