The efficiency of dust trapping in ringed proto-planetary discs

Abstract

When imaged at high-resolution, many proto-planetary discs show gaps and rings in their dust sub-mm continuum emission profile. These structures are widely considered to originate from local maxima in the gas pressure profile. The properties of the underlying gas structures are however unknown. In this paper we present a method to measure the dust-gas coupling $\alpha /St$ and the width of the gas pressure bumps affecting the dust distribution, applying high-precision techniques to extract the gas rotation curve from emission lines data-cubes. As a proof-of-concept, we then apply the method to two discs with prominent sub-structure, HD163296 and AS 209. We find that in all cases the gas structures are larger than in the dust, confirming that the rings are pressure traps. Although the grains are sufficiently decoupled from the gas to be radially concentrated, we find that the degree of coupling of the dust is relatively good ($\alpha /St\sim 0.1$). We can therefore reject scenarios in which the disc turbulence is very low and the dust has grown significantly. If we further assume that the dust grain sizes are set by turbulent fragmentation, we find high values of the $\alpha$ turbulent parameter ($\alpha \sim 10^{-2}$). Alternatively, solutions with smaller turbulence are still compatible with our analysis if another process is limiting grain growth. For HD163296, recent measurements of the disc mass suggest that this is the case if the grain size is 1mm. Future constraints on the dust spectral indices will help to discriminate between the two alternatives.
