Long Baseline Observations of the HD100546 Protoplanetary Disk with ALMA

Abstract

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), we observed the young Herbig star HD 100546, host to a prominent disk with a deep, wide gap in the dust. The high-resolution 1.3 mm continuum observation reveals fine radial and azimuthal substructures in the form of a complex maze of ridges and trenches sculpting a dust ring. The ${}^{12}$CO(2-1) channel maps are modulated by wiggles or kinks that deviate from Keplerian kinematics particularly over the continuum ring, where deviations span 90${}^{\circ }$ in azimuth, covering 5 km s${}^{-1}$. The most pronounced wiggle resembles the imprint of an embedded massive planet of at least 5 M${}_{\mathrm{Jup}}$ predicted from previous hydrodynamical simulations (Perez, Casassus, & Benitez-Llambay 2018). Such planet is expected to open a deep gap in both gas and dust density fields within a few orbital timescales, yet the kinematic wiggles lie near ridges in the continuum. The lesser strength of the wiggles in the ${}^{13}$CO and C${}^{18}$O isotopologues show that the kinematic signature weakens at lower disk heights, and suggests qualitatively that it is due to vertical flows in the disk surface. Within the gap, the velocity field transitions from Keplerian to strongly non-Keplerian via a twist in position angle, suggesting the presence of another perturber and/or an inner warp. We also present VLT/SPHERE sparse aperture masking data which recovers scattered light emission from the gap's edges but shows no evidence for signal within the gap, discarding a stellar binary origin for its opening.
