ALMA Workshop 2019:

​Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks

December 8-10, 2019 @ the University of Tokyo

SOC: Ohashi, N. (Chair), Takakuwa, S. Tomida, K., Jorgensen, J., J., Tobin, J.

LOC: Aikawa, Y. (Chair), Takakuwa, S., Saigo, K., Cataldi, G., Mori, S., Ohashi, N.

ALMAによるこれまでの Class II 星周囲の円盤の高空間分解能観測は、円盤内に明るいリ ングと暗い溝状の構造が多く存在していることを明らかにした。これらは円盤内に惑星が 存在する可能性を示唆するとともに、Class II よりも進化段階の早いClass 0, I の原始星段 階で、すでに惑星形成が始まっている可能性も示している。惑星がいつ、どのように形成 されているのか?の問題にこたえるため、我々は、多くの原始星のサンプルにおいて、0.04秒角 (~5 au) の分解能で、1.3 mm ダスト連続波と CO 分子輝線により円盤の観測を 行う ALMA Large Program を開始した。本ワークショップでは、原始星や Class II 天体周 囲の円盤のこれまでの観測結果を俯瞰するとともに、惑星形成の今後の研究の指針やデー タ解析、モデリングの具体的な手法などを幅広く議論する。なお、最終日はLarge Programの戦略会議のため、招待者のみの参加とする。

Previous high-resolution ALMA observations of protoplanetary disks around Class II sources, such as DSHARP, have shown that substructures in those disks are ubiquitous, mostly in the form of concentric rings and gaps, implying the presence of planets in these disks. The ubiquitous detection of substructures in protoplanetary disks raises the intriguing possibility that at least some planet formation may have started already during the embedded stages of protostellar evolution. In order to address exactly how and when planet formation might begin, we will start an ALMA large program to systematically observe a large sample of Class 0 and I objects with an angular resolution of 0.04" (5 au) in 1.3 mm dust continuum and CO emission lines at 230 GHz to investigate how early substructures indicative of planet formation arise in disks in the evolution of young stars. In the workshop, we will review recent observations of disks around protostars as well as class II sources and data analysis technique of disks at high angular resolutions, and discuss strategy how to understand possible early planet formation in embedded disks. The last day of the workshop is limited to people with invitation only.
