Sentences with phrase «circumbinary disks»

While recent observations have found such disks surrounding the baby - twin stars, named «circumbinary disks», those observations could not image the structures and gas motions of the disks to feed materials to the binary, because of the insufficient imaging resolution and sensitivity.

The system's spectral energy distribution reveals a mid-infrared excess, which we model as thermal emission from a small amount of dust located in the inner cavity of a circumbinary disk.

In turn, this opens up the possibility that some of the out - of - eclipse variability could be due to occultations of the central stars by material located at the inner edge or in the central cavity of the circumbinary disk.

These results show that the baby twin stars «shake» the surrounding circumbinary disk and induce the falling gas motion to feed the materials to the baby twin.

For the first time, they succeeded in imaging the detailed structures of the circumbinary disk, and found that the circumbinary disk consists of a southern U-shaped feature and northern emission protrusions pointing to the northwest and the northeast (Figure 1).

They found a gas component associated with each binary star (the two central components can be seen in Figure 1), and a disk surrounding both stars, a circumbinary disk, with a radius of 300 au.

But our team had successfully imaged the circumbinary disk orbiting the close binary T Tauri system V4046 Sgr with GPI (Rapson et al. 2015ApJ... 803L.
