星球的形成可能始于最早的原恒星阶段. 观测显示了年轻盘中的环状子结构,这表明早期的尘埃粒生长对行星形成至关重要,挑战了现有的理论.
科学领域:
- 天文学与天体物理学
- 星球科学
背景情况:
- 圆形结构 (环和空隙) 在100万年前的主序前恒星 (II类物体) 周围的磁盘中很常见.
- 这些结构往往与正在进行的行星形成有关,行星物体雕刻出这些特征.
- 星球的形成可能更早,在I类原恒星阶段,当恒星仍然嵌入密集的包裹.
研究的目的:
- 研究非常年轻的原恒星盘中的子结构的存在和特征.
- 通过磁盘子结构表明的行星形成过程是否比以前认为的更早发生.
主要方法:
- 使用1.3毫米的尘埃排放观测.
- 实现了五个天文单位的高分辨率.
- 专注于年轻的原星IRS 63, 在Ophiuchus分子云中的I类源.
主要成果:
- 在IRS 63的磁盘中发现了四个环状的基层结构,
- IRS 63有一个相对较大的圆盘 (超过50个天文单位),是毫米波长的明亮的I类原星.
- 观测到的基层结构为尘埃粒的生长提供了早期的机会,
结论:
- 行星形成过程始于最早的原恒星 (I类) 阶段.
- 这些发现表明行星的形成比当前理论预测的要早.
- 在年轻的磁盘中存在多个环状的子结构,支持早期的尘埃生长和潜在的行星形成.
