A young protoplanetary disk in the Bok globule CB 26.

LAUNHARDT R. and SARGENT A.I.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present subarcsecond resolution millimeter-wave images of a circumstellar disk in the Bok globule CB 26. The presence of an edge-on disk is confirmed by the dust continuum morphology and the velocity field of 13CO emission, which displays a Keplerian rotation pattern about an axis perpendicular to the long axis of the dust emission. We deduce a mass of ∼0.3 M for the obscured central star. The disk is optically thick at millimeter wavelengths inside 120 AU, has a symmetric 20° warp beyond 120 AU, an outer radius of ∼200 AU, and a mass of at least 0.1 M. We suggest that the CB 26 system is in an intermediate stage between deeply embedded protostellar accretion disks and the more evolved, perhaps protoplanetary, disks around T Tauri stars.
