PDRs4All XVIII. JWST-NIRCam Photometric properties of protoplanetary disks in the Orion Nebula Cluster

Abstract

We use the high angular resolution NIRCam images from the PDRs4All program, combined with those of GTO program 1256, to extract key properties of disks in the Orion Nebula Cluster. We measure disk radii in silhouette against the bright background, identify dissociation fronts (DFs) and ionization fronts (IFs), determine Paschen $\alpha$ intensities, and derive near-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs). From these diagnostics we define a typology of ONC disks. Type I sources show merged IFs and DFs close to the disk surface. Type II sources have DFs at the disk surface and IFs located tens of astronomical units away. Type III sources show a DF at the disk surface but no IF. For all types, PAH emission traces the PDR. We find that the disk radius $r_{\mathrm{disk}}$ increases with projected distance to the ionizing source $d_{\mathrm{proj}}$, following $r_{\mathrm{disk}}\propto d_{\mathrm{proj}}^{0.30}$, consistent with disk truncation by photoevaporation. Disk radii measured in the infrared are larger than those measured at millimeter wavelengths, suggesting radial dust segregation within the disks. In agreement with PDR models, the thermal pressure in the disk PDR increases with the FUV radiation field $G_0$, but with a flatter slope. Finally, the SEDs of candidate Jupiter Mass Binary Objects (JuMBOs) are similar to those of Type III disks, except for JuMBO24, which resembles a Type I or Type II source. Its SED is consistent with a young low-mass binary hosting an unresolved ionized disk.
