摘要:

我们分析空间分辨ALMA观测在0.9,1.3,和3.1毫米的26个最明亮的原行星盘在狼疮恒星形成区域。我们通过以均匀的方式拟合干涉仪的亮度分布,获得在三个波长处的有效盘尺寸,光谱指数分布和光学深度估计,从而获得盘的多波长亮度分布。我们报告了三个基本发现:首先,在0.9 mm处已经观察到的毫米连续体尺寸-光度关系在1.3 mm处也存在相同的斜率,并且在3.1 mm处具有更陡的斜率,这证实了在较长波长处的发射变得越来越光学薄。第二,当在3.1毫米处观察时,圆盘似乎只比在0.9毫米处观察时小9%,与预测更明显差异的尘埃演化模型相矛盾。第三,通过一个简单的参数光盘模型的测量样品的正向建模,我们发现,整个光盘的大颗粒($a_\mathrm{max}>1 $ mm)的存在是最有利的解释,所有光盘,因为它同时再现其光谱指数,光学深度,光度,和径向范围在0.9-1.3毫米波长范围。我们还发现,观测结果可以交替解释与光盘被占主导地位的光学厚,未解决的,子结构制成的毫米大小的颗粒具有高散射的散射。

英文摘要:

We analyse spatially resolved ALMA observations at 0.9, 1.3, and 3.1 mm for the 26 brightest protoplanetary discs in the Lupus star-forming region. We characterise the discs multi-wavelength brightness profiles by fitting the interferometric visibilities in a homogeneous way, obtaining effective disc sizes at the three wavelengths, spectral index profiles and optical depth estimates. We report three fundamental discoveries: first, the millimeter continuum size - luminosity relation already observed at 0.9 mm is also present at 1.3 mm with an identical slope, and at 3.1 mm with a steeper slope, confirming that emission at longer wavelengths becomes increasingly optically thin. Second, when observed at 3.1 mm the discs appear to be only 9% smaller than when observed at 0.9 mm, in tension with models of dust evolution which predict a starker difference. Third, by forward modelling the sample of measurements with a simple parametric disc model, we find that the presence of large grains ($a_\mathrm{max}>1 $mm) throughout the discs is the most favoured explanation for all discs as it reproduces simultaneously their spectral indices, optical depth, luminosity, and radial extent in the 0.9-1.3 mm wavelength range. We also find that the observations can be alternatively interpreted with the discs being dominated by optically thick, unresolved, substructures made of mm-sized grains with a high scattering albedo.
