Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks (eDisk). IV. The Ringed and Warped Structure of the Disk around the Class I Protostar L1489 IRS

Publication: The Astrophysical Journal, Volume 951, Issue 1, id.11, 20 pp.

Summary

Constraining the physical and chemical structure of young embedded disks is crucial for understanding the earliest stages of planet formation. As part of the Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Large Program, we present high spatial resolution (~0.″1 or ~15 au) observations of the 1.3 mm continuum and 13CO J = 2-1, C18O J = 2-1, and SO J N = 65-54 molecular lines toward the disk around the Class I protostar L1489 IRS. The warped structures in this disk may be formed by a planet or companion with an inclined orbit, or by a gradual change in the angular momentum axis during gas infall.
