ALMA unveils rings and gaps in the protoplanetary system HD 169142: signatures of two giant protoplanets

Abstract

The protoplanetary system HD 169142 is one of the few cases where a potential candidate protoplanet has been recently detected via direct imaging. To study the interaction between the protoplanet and the disk itself observations of the gas and dust surface density structure are needed. This paper reports new ALMA observations of the dust continuum at 1.3\,mm, ${}^{12}$CO, ${}^{13}$CO and C${}^{18}$O $J=2-1$ emission from the system HD 169142 at angular resolution of $\sim 0".18-0".28$ ($\sim 20$au$-33$au). The dust continuum emission reveals a double-ring structure with an inner ring between $0".17-0".28$ ($\sim 20-35$au) and an outer ring between $0".48-0".64$ ($\sim 56-83$au). The size and position of the inner ring is in good agreement with previous polarimetric observations in the near-infrared and is consistent with dust trapping by a massive planet. No dust emission is detected inside the inner dust cavity ($R\lesssim 20$au) or within the dust gap ($\sim 35-56$au). In contrast, the channel maps of the $J=2-1$ line of the three CO isotopologues reveal the presence of gas inside the dust cavity and dust gap. The gaseous disk is also much larger than the compact dust emission extending to $\sim 1^{\prime }.5$ ($\sim 180$au) in radius. This difference and the sharp drop of the continuum emission at large radii point to radial drift of large dust grains ($>$ \micron-size). Using the thermo-chemical disk code \textsc{dali}, the continuum and the CO isotopologues emission are modelled to quantitatively measure the gas and dust surface densities. The resulting gas surface density is reduced by a factor of $\sim 30-40$ inward of the dust gap. The gas and dust distribution hint at the presence of multiple planets shaping the disk structure via dynamical clearing (dust cavity and gap) and dust trapping (double ring dust distribution).
