Dust Distribution in Gas Disks. A Model for the Ring Around HR 4796A

Abstract

There have been several model analyses of the near and mid IR flux from the circumstellar ring around HR4796A. In the vicinity of a young star, the possibility that the dust ring is embedded within a residual protostellar gas disk cannot be ruled out. In a gas-rich environment, larger sizes ($>100\mu m$) are needed for the particles to survive the radiative blow out. The total dust mass required to account for the IR flux is $<10^{-1}{M}_{\oplus }$. The combined influence of gas and stellar radiation may also account for the observed sharp inner boundary and rapidly fading outer boundary of the ring. The pressure gradient induced by a small (10%) amplitude variation in the surface density distribution of a low-mass gaseous disk would be sufficient to modify the rotation speed of the gas.
