Abstract

We report our SMA observations of the Class \RN{1}-\RN{2} protostar HL Tau in the CO (2--1), CO (2--1), SO(5--4), and the 1.3 mm dust-continuum emission and our analyses of the ALMA long baseline data of the HCO (1--0) emission. The 1.3 mm continuum emission observed with the SMA shows compact (0$\farcs$8 0$\farcs$5) and extended (6$\farcs$5 4$\farcs$3) components, tracing the protoplanetary disk and the protostellar envelope, respectively. The CO, CO, and HCO show a compact ( 200 AU) component at velocities higher than 3 km s from the systemic velocity and an extended ( 1000 AU) component at the lower velocities. The high-velocity component traces the Keplerian rotating disk, and the low-velocity component traces the infalling envelope. The HCO high-velocity component is fitted with a Keplerian disk model with a central stellar mass of 1.4 . The radial intensity profiles of the CO and CO along the disk major axis are fitted with a disk+envelope model, and the gas masses of the disk and envelope are estimated to be $2\mbox{--}40\times10^{-4}$ and , respectively. The disk dust mass has been estimated to be $1\mbox{--}3 \times 10^{-3}$ in the literature. Thus, our estimated disk gas mass suggests that the gas-to-dust mass ratio in the disk is 10, a factor of ten lower than the estimated ratio in the envelope. We discuss the possible gas depletion or CO depletion in the planet-forming candidate HL Tau in the context of disk and envelope evolution.
