AI总结:

利用ALMA对HH 111原行星盘的观测,发现偏振强度与旋臂呈反相关,建模表明该现象源于约150微米颗粒的尘埃自散射,为颗粒生长提供了证据。

摘要:

HH 111原行星盘最近被发现拥有一对旋臂。在此,我们报告利用Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array在连续谱波长lambda ~ 870 micron及~ 0.05"分辨率下获取的该盘及其周围内包层的尘埃偏振结果。在内包层中,探测到的偏振度约为6%,其取向几乎在各处均平行于盘的短轴,因此很可能是由于主要被环向磁场磁化排列的尘埃颗粒所致。在盘中,偏振取向在远侧大致呈方位角方向,并在近侧变为平行于短轴,两者之间在靠近中心原恒星的远侧存在一个偏振间隙。盘的偏振度约为2%。近侧的偏振强度高于远侧,表现出近远侧不对称性。更重要的是,偏振强度及偏振度在旋臂内较低,而在旋臂之间较高,表现出偏振强度与旋臂之间的反相关性。我们的建模结果表明,这种反相关性有助于约束偏振机制,并且与已生长至约150 micron大小的尘埃颗粒的自散射现象一致。旋臂间区域被两条更亮的旋臂夹在中间并受到其照射,因此具有更高的偏振强度。我们的尘埃自散射模型还能重现近侧观测到的平行于短轴的偏振取向,以及沿长轴在两个盘边缘观测到的方位角偏振取向。

英文摘要:

The HH 111 protostellar disk has recently been found to host a pair of spiral arms. Here we report the dust polarization results in the disk as well as the inner envelope around it, obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in continuum at lambda ~ 870 micron and ~ 0. 05" resolution. In the inner envelope, polarization is detected with a polarization degree of ~ 6% and an orientation almost everywhere parallel to the minor axis of the disk, and thus likely to be due to the dust grains magnetically aligned mainly by toroidal fields. In the disk, the polarization orientation is roughly azimuthal on the far side and becomes parallel to the minor axis on the near side, with a polarization gap in between on the far side near the central protostar. The disk polarization degree is ~ 2%. The polarized intensity is higher on the near side than the far side, showing a near-far side asymmetry. More importantly, the polarized intensity and thus polarization degree are lower in the spiral arms, but higher in between the arms, showing an anticorrelation of the polarized intensity with the spiral arms. Our modeling results indicate that this anticorrelation is useful for constraining the polarization mechanism and is consistent with the dust self-scattering by the grains that have grown to a size of ~ 150 micron. The interarms are sandwiched and illuminated by two brighter spiral arms and thus have higher polarized intensity. Our dust self-scattering model can also reproduce the observed polarization orientation parallel to the minor axis on the near side and the observed azimuthal polarization orientation at the two disk edges in the major axis.
