星周彗星的观测

Observations of Circumstellar Disks

David W. Koerner

摘要:

年轻恒星周围的盘成像在高动态范围、角分辨率和灵敏度方面提出了极大的挑战。最近的仪器进步令人钦佩地迎接了这些挑战,导致成像发现的显着增加。这为行星系统起源的研究开辟了一个新纪元。关于我们自己的太阳系的形成,以及太阳系外行星的普遍性的问题,现在用不同波长的补充技术来解决。光学和近红外图像以尽可能高的分辨率详细描述了来自磁盘的散射光。中红外,亚毫米和毫米波技术探测热尘埃连续辐射。毫米波干涉测量法详细描述了分子气体的小尺度结构。运动学成像研究证实了毫米波连续巡天的圆盘解释,以及太阳星云类似物的高发生率。内洞、方位角不对称和间隙表明存在潜在的行星体。综合技术提供了一个多维的磁盘在时间上的图片,并加强了我们对磁盘和行星之间的联系的理解。未来的进展是有保证的存在,大大改善成像能力隐约可见的地平线。

英文摘要:

The imaging of disks around young stars presents extreme challenges in high dynamic range, angular resolution, and sensitivity. Recent instrumental advances have met these challenges admirably, leading to a marked increase in imaging discoveries. These have opened up a new era in studies of the origin of planetary systems. Questions about our own solar system's formation, and of the prevalence of extra-solar planets, are now addressed with complementary techniques at different wavelengths. Optical and near-infrared images detail scattered light from disks at the highest possible resolution. Mid-infrared, sub-millimeter, and millimeter-wave techniques probe thermal dust continuum radiation. Millimeter-wave interferometry details the small-scale structure of the molecular gas. Kinematic imaging studies affirm the disk interpretation of mm-wave continuum surveys, and the high incidence rate for solar nebula analogs. Inner holes, azimuthal asymmetries, and gaps suggest the presence of underlying planetary bodies. The combined techniques provide a multi-dimensional picture of disks in time and have strengthened our understanding of the connection between disks and planets. Future progress is assured by the presence of much-improved imaging capability looming on the horizon.
