ALMA调查解析外星尘埃盘径向结构,发现部分尘埃盘具有窄环或宽环,表明其结构可能源自原行星盘或碰撞过程。

摘要:

ALMA调查以解析外星凯普带亚结构(ARKS)最近完成,旨在填补对尘埃盘高分辨率观测的空白,并研究24个尘埃盘中径向间隙和环等亚结构的普遍性。本研究对ARKS计划中的尘埃盘径向结构进行了特征化。为了识别和量化盘的亚结构,我们使用了多种非参数和参数方法对所有盘进行建模。我们发现,在样本中的24个盘中,5个盘拥有多个环,7个是单个环,显示有晕或额外的低振幅环,而12个是单个环,最多有初步证据表明存在其他亚结构。我们测量的环宽分数显著窄于之前推导的值,并遵循类似于原行星盘中单个环分辨率的环宽分布。然而,尘埃盘中存在一个环显著比原行星盘中的环宽的群体。我们还发现,具有陡峭内缘一致于行星雕刻的盘倾向于出现在较小(<100 au)的半径处,而更径向扩展的盘则具有更浅的边缘,更一致于碰撞进化。绝大多数盘的径向剖面可以被双幂律或双高斯参数化很好地描述。虽然我们的发现表明,某些尘埃盘可能直接继承自原行星盘的结构,但存在一个相当大的尘埃盘群体无法用这种方式解释。假设毫米波尘埃的分布反映小行星的分布,导致原行星盘中的环迁移或尘埃盘在形成后不久扩展的机制可能在起作用,可能由行星迁移或散射介导。

英文摘要:

The ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS) was recently completed to cover the lack of high-resolution observations of debris discs and to investigate the prevalence of substructures such as radial gaps and rings in a sample of 24 discs. This study characterises the radial structure of debris discs in the ARKS programme. To identify and quantify the disc substructures, we modelled all discs with a range of non-parametric and parametric approaches. We find that of the 24 discs in the sample, 5 host multiple rings, 7 are single rings that display halos or additional low-amplitude rings, and 12 are single rings with at most tentative evidence of additional substructures. The fractional ring widths that we measured are significantly narrower than previously derived values, and they follow a distribution similar to the fractional widths of individual rings resolved in protoplanetary discs. However, there exists a population of rings in debris discs that are significantly wider than those in protoplanetary discs. We also find that discs with steep inner edges consistent with planet sculpting tend to be found at smaller (<100 au) radii, while more radially extended discs tend to have shallower edges more consistent with collisional evolution. An overwhelming majority of discs have radial profiles well-described by either a double power law or double-Gaussian parametrisation. While our findings suggest that it may be possible for some debris discs to inherit their structures directly from protoplanetary discs, there exists a sizeable population of broad debris discs that cannot be explained in this way. Assuming that the distribution of millimetre dust reflects the distribution of planetesimals, mechanisms that cause rings in protoplanetary discs to migrate or debris discs to broaden soon after formation may be at play, possibly mediated by planetary migration or scattering.
