Summary In order to unambiguously identify Keplerian disks around protostars, it is crucial to distinguish between Kepler rotation (V rot R -0.5 ) and rotation conserving angular momentum(V rot R -1 ). ALMA cycle 0 observations of L1527 IRS shows that Most of C 18 O 2-1 emission arises from an infalling envelope. The C 18 O arising the vicinity of the central star (R < 60 AU) may suggests a Keplerian disk. SO shows rigid-like rotation at lower velocities ( V = -1 — 1 km/s) The kinematics of the SO emission seems to be not explained with the same kinematics explaining the C 18 O emission.
Keplerian disks are ubiquitous around PMSs Keperian disks are formed as by-products of star formation. It is, however, not well understood when and how disks are formed. Initial condition of Keprian disks Dynamical mass of protostars Simon, Dutrey, Guilloteau 2000
Formation of Keplerian disks around protostars: A conventional picture Dynamical Infall region V infall > V rotation Keplerian rotation region V infall << V rotation Note that B-field could remove angular momentum effectively, preventing disk formation (e.g., Mellon & Li 2008, 2009; Machida et al. 2011, Dapp et al. 2012) NMA Obs c. f.
