A Keplerian disk around Orion Source I, a ~15 Msun YSO

Abstract

We report ALMA long-baseline observations of Orion Source I (SrcI) with resolution 0.03-0.06" (12-24 AU) at 1.3 and 3.2 mm. We detect both continuum and spectral line emission from SrcI's disk. We also detect a central weakly resolved source that we interpret as a hot spot in the inner disk, which may indicate the presence of a binary system. The high angular resolution and sensitivity of these observations allow us to measure the outer envelope of the rotation curve of the H${}_2$O $5_{5,0}-6_{4,3}$ line, which gives a mass $M_I\approx 15\pm 2$ Msun. We detected several other lines that more closely trace the disk, but were unable to identify their parent species. Using centroid-of-channel methods on these other lines, we infer a similar mass. These measurements solidify SrcI as a genuine high-mass protostar system and support the theory that SrcI and the Becklin Neugebauer Object were ejected from the dynamical decay of a multiple star system $\sim$500 years ago, an event that also launched the explosive molecular outflow in Orion.
