论文摘要

Herbig ae/be恒星代表了恒星形成的早期结果和中级恒星质量的行星形成的初始阶段。了解这两个过程都需要详细描述其磁盘结构和伴随频率。我们通过非冗余掩蔽观测值在相机23米的大型双眼望远镜干涉仪上提出了新的3.7微米成像为Star MWC 297。这些图像揭示了几个AU的尺度上的复杂磁盘结构以及伴侣候选者。我们讨论了这些特征的物理解释,并证明成像结果独立于选择,例如先验,正则化超参数和错误条估计。这些数据以〜17 MAS的角度分辨率,提供了遥远的年轻恒星的第一个强大的ELT分辨率视图。

Herbig Ae/Be stars represent the early outcomes of star formation and the initial stages of planet formation at intermediate stellar masses. Understanding both of these processes requires detailed characterization of their disk structures and companion frequencies. We present new 3.7 micron imaging of the Herbig Be star MWC 297 from non-redundant masking observations on the phase-controlled, 23-m Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer. The images reveal complex disk structure on the scales of several au, as well as a companion candidate. We discuss physical interpretations for these features, and demonstrate that the imaging results are independent of choices such as priors, regularization hyperparameters, and error bar estimates. With an angular resolution of ~17 mas, these data provide the first robust ELT-resolution view of a distant young star.
