Dusty Disks in the Multiple Systems UZ Tau and GG Tau1

  • M. Simon (a1) and S. Guilloteau (a2)
Abstract

Interferometric observations of the 2.6 mm dust thermal emission around the T Tauri triple system UZ Tau show that most of it is equally divided between UZ Tau W (the close binary) and UZ Tau E. The emission is at least partially optically thick at 2.6 mm which implies an origin in disks of size ~ 13 AU and mass ~ 0.024 M . The 2.6 mm emission of the GG Tau system, a hierarchical quadruple, is partially resolved. Strong emission extended over ~ 3″ × 5″ is associated with the close binary GG Tau. Weak emission is detected at GG Tau/c, also a close binary. Evidently extensive dusty disks can survive in the environment of close binaries for at least ~ 105 y, and their structure can vary markedly from system to system.
