年轻恒星周围的气体与尘埃盘中的巨行星形成过程，在观测上仍缺乏充分约束。当前设备对原行星盘内原行星的直接探测仍有限；在未探测到行星的情况下，通过气体中的亚结构或开普勒旋转偏差来间接获取原行星的观测证据仍不明确。缺乏亚结构与其对应行星的联合探测，使得将行星形成过程与宿主环境关联起来颇具挑战。阿塔卡马大型毫米波/亚毫米波阵列（ALMA）的观测在WISPIT 2原行星盘中清晰探测到气体间隙与运动学特征，这些特征与此前探测到的巨原行星位置共空间。在12CO积分强度图及其旋转曲线中观测到的新气体间隙，与此前在散射光中识别出的间隙相对应，其形态与大质量行星的行星-盘相互作用模型所预期的偏心间隙一致。若该系统中存在第三颗行星，则可解释外盘缺乏偏心的现象。WISPIT 2的观测为盘中运动学特征、气体间隙与巨行星形成之间提供了长期寻求的经验桥梁。
英文摘要
The giant planet formation process in disks of gas and dust surrounding young stars is observationally still poorly constrained. Direct detection of protoplanets within the disk remains limited with current facilities. Indirect observational evidence of protoplanets through substructures or deviations from Keplerian rotation in the gas remains ambiguous in absence of detected planets. The lack of the combined detection of substructures and their corresponding planets makes it challenging to connect the planet formation process to the host environment. Observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) reveal clear detections of gas gaps and kinematic signatures in the WISPIT 2 protoplanetary disk that are cospatial with the locations of previously detected giant protoplanets. The newly identified gas gaps, observed in both the 12CO integrated intensity map and its rotation curve, correspond with the previously identified gaps in scattered light. Their morphologies are shown to be consistent with eccentric gaps, as expected from planet-disk interaction models of massive planets. The lack of eccentricity in the outer disk can be explained if a third planet is present in the system. The observations of WISPIT 2 provide a long-sought empirical bridge between kinematic signatures, gas gaps and giant planet formation in disks.
