Abstract (from CDS):

We report our Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations of the Class I-II protostar HL Tau in 13CO (2-1), C18O (2-1), SO(56-45), and 1.3 mm dust-continuum emission and our analyses of the ALMA long baseline data of HCO+ (1-0) emission. The 1.3 mm continuum emission observed with the SMA shows compact (∼0.''8 x 0.''5) and extended (∼6.''5 x 4.''3) components, tracing the protoplanetary disk and the protostellar envelope, respectively. The 13CO, C18O, and HCO+ show a compact (∼200 au) component at velocities higher than 3 km s–1 from the systemic velocity and an extended (∼1000 au) component at lower velocities. The high-velocity component traces the Keplerian rotating disk, and the low-velocity component traces the infalling envelope. The HCO+ high-velocity component is fitted with a Keplerian disk model with a central stellar mass of 1.4 M. The radial intensity profiles of 13CO and C18O along the disk major axis are fitted with a disk+envelope model, and the gas masses of the disk and envelope are estimated to be (2-40) x 10–4 M and 2.9×10–3M, respectively. The disk dust mass has been estimated to be (1-3) x 10–3 M in the literature. Thus, our estimated disk gas mass suggests that the gas-to-dust mass ratio in the disk is <10, a factor of 10 lower than the estimated ratio in the envelope. We discuss possible gas depletion or CO depletion in the planet-forming candidate HL Tau in the context of disk and envelope evolution.
