2 Stars Form with Protoplanetary Disks 2 Marois et al. 2010, Keck Observatory McCaughren & O’Dell 1995 Silhouette Disks in Orion Nebula around ~1 Myr-old stars planets orbiting HR 8799 How do disks evolve and form planetary systems?

3 Relevance of Radio Astronomy low dust opacity mass, particle properties many spectral lines gas diagnostics, kinematics access cold material including disk mid-plane contrast with star planet-forming region low T,   low brightness imaging needs sensitivity ALMA EVLA 3

6 Disks@EVLA Key Project PI Claire Chandler (NRAO) + 17 co-Is worldwide grain growth and substructure in protoplanetary disks probe last observable link in chain from ISM dust to planets -photometry of 60+ disks at 7/9/13/50 mm -imaging of subsets, some to 50 mas = few AU 6 Birnstiel et al. 2010 95% confidence Isella et al. 2010 RY Tau: CARMA global  : weak model constraints -average level of grain growth only resolved colors,  (r), affected by -turbulence -particle collision model -materials -radial drift efficiency

7 EVLA Taurus Disk Images spectral indices = 9 mm (30.5 and 37.5 GHz) θ ~ 0.7 arcsec = 100 AU Chandler et al, in prep 7

8 UZ Tau Resolved Millimeter Colors radiative transfer:  (r) 8  (r) = d log  (r) / d log a max ~ 10 cm (inner disk) a max ~ 10  m (outer disk) radial drift limited growth? disk resolved at 0.9 -9 mm 100 AU Harris et al. 2013, also Perez et al. 2012

9 Isolating the Effects of Radial Drift thermal pressure: v gas < v Kep – small sizes: entrained by gas – mid sizes: strong headwind – large sizes: drag is weak 9 Weidenschilling 1977 natural size-sorting of solids strong variation of gas:dust as a function of disk radius

10 The TW Hya System HST Weinberger et al. 2002 closest gas-rich disk system (51 pc) – M = 0.6 M , age 3-10 Myr, – southern, isolated, viewed nearly face-on – many studies with SMA – good model of disk physical structure 10 Andrews et al. 2012 Qi et al. 2008

11 Indirect Signature of Radial Drift 1.RT model dust densities 2.assume constant gas:dust 3.non-LTE model gas (CO) 4.compare with data 11 link with work on β (r): constraints on drift rates Rosenfeld et al. 2013 Andrews et al. 2012  gas/dust size discrepancy

12 Signatures of Grain Growth and Drift empirical dependence between dust disk extent and wavelength – emission becomes more compact at longer wavelengths power law index of opacity, , decreases with disk radius – maximum particle size increases with disk radius CO gas disk extent much larger than millimeter dust disk – dust and gas surface density profiles are decoupled 12 observations naturally explained if growth and inward drift of solids concentrates large particles relative to molecular gas reservoir planet-disk interactions also make pressure bumps/particle traps

13 Snow Lines and Planet Formation “snow line” = boundary where volatiles condense out of gas phase enhance planetesimal formation – dramatically increase available solids – increase grain stickiness (icy mantles) – influence bulk composition, e.g. C/O key evaporation temperatures – H 2 O: 170 K (R = a few AU) – CO: 20 K (R = a few 10’s of AU) 13 Hayashi 1981 Ciesla & Cuzzi 2006 Oberg et al. 2011

14 disks are 3D objects: “snow line” = “snow surface” – very difficult to discern in (optically thick) CO emission use chemical selectivity to advantage N 2 H + abundant only where CO highly depleted – CO inhibits N 2 H + formation – CO speeds up N 2 H + destruction – CO freezes out at 20 K – observed in pre-stellar cores CO Snow Line and N 2 H + Chemistry 14 Qi et al. 2012 H3+H3+ HCO + N2H+N2H+ CO N2N2

15 TW Hya SMA Obs  ALMA Prediction 15 SMA N 2 H + data model simulation

16 TW Hya ALMA Cycle 0 N 2 H + Imaging N 2 H + shows a ring 16 2012 November 18  = 0.8 mm (band 7) 26 antennas, 2 hours beam 0.6 x 0.6 arcsec rms = 25 mJy (0.1 km/s) >20x better sensitivity, >20x smaller beam area than SMA N 2 H + obs -rim radius (27 AU) matches prediction for CO snow line -N 2 H + abundant where T drops below 20 K 2011.0.00340.S PI Qi

17 Planetesimal Belts in Debris Disks sister stars in the 12 Myr-old  Pic Moving Group surrounded by dusty disks, cleared of gas, viewed edge-on 17  Pic A6 19.4 pc R disk > 800 AU AU Mic M1 9.9 pc R disk > 200 AU Kalas 2004

18 Scattered Light Midplane Profiles both disks show broken power-law profiles with similar slopes Liu 2004 Golimowski et al. 2006 R -4 R -1  Pic break at R ~120 AU R -1 R -4 AU Mic break at R ~35 AU 18

19 The “Birth Ring” Paradigm a collisional ring of dust-producing planetesimals – small grains blown out by stellar radiation (  Pic) and winds (AU Mic) – large grains stay close to birth ring – size-dependent dust dynamics explains scattered light profile  = F * /F grav Krivov 2010 (see Wyatt 2006) Strubbe & Chiang 2006 (also see Augereau & Beust 2006) scattered light 19

20 SMA: 1.3 Millimeter Emission Belts Wilner et al. 2011  Pic contours: ±2,4,6,8 x 0.6 mJy 20 Wilner et al. 2012 AU Mic contours: ±2,4,6 x 0.4 mJy

21 Emission Models and Belt Locations  Pic R = 94±8 AU  R = 34 +44 AU F = 15±2 mJy -32 AU Mic R = 36 +7 AU  R = 10 +13 AU F = 8.2±1.2 mJy -16 -8 21

22 MacGregor et al. 2013 AU Mic ALMA Cycle 0 Observations >10x better sensitivity, >10x smaller beam area than SMA study 2011.0.00142.S PI Wilner 2011.0.00274.S PI Ertel 4 SB executions in 2012 April and June  = 1.3 mm (band 6) 16 to 20 antennas beam 0.8 x 0.7 arcsec (8 x 7 AU) rms = 30 μ Jy 22

23 Millimeter Emission Model Fitting contours: ±4,8,12,.. x 30 μ Jy outer belt + central peak 23

24 AU Mic Outer Dust Belt Properties extends to R=40 AU, to the break in scattered light profile – consistent with model based on size-dependent dust dynamics appears sharply truncated – reminiscent of the classical Kuiper Belt – initial condition? or result of dynamical interaction? surface density profile rises with radius,  (r) ~ r 2.8 – collisional depletion of inner disk by ongoing planet formation? no detectable asymmetries in structure or position – no significant clumps, e.g. due to resonances with orbiting planet – centroid offset limit compatible with presence of Uranus-like planet 24 Kennedy and Wyatt 2010 Mustill and Wyatt 2009

25 AU Mic Central Peak Emission stellar photosphere and additional unresolved emission – measure 320  Jy in central component – a NextGen stellar model (3720 K, 0.11 L  0.6 M  )  52  Jy stellar flares? – no detectable variability, hours to months stellar corona? – low radio flux density limits in quiescence from VLA (in early 1990s) – requires turnover frequency > 40 GHz, or time evolution – would be detectable by EVLA at centimeter wavelengths asteroid-like belt at a few AU? – compatible with absence of excess emission < 25 μ m – would be easy for ALMA to resolve in future Cycles 25

26 A new “Radio Era” for Disk Studies planets form in circumstellar disks major unknown is distribution/evolution of cold dust and gas at Solar System scales: key observables for ALMA and EVLA entering a new regime of decoupled gas and dust, size-dependent dust dynamics three examples -resolving grain growth and drift -imaging snow lines -revealing planetesimal belts 26 expect surprises!
