Abstract: |
We show our recent observational results of L1551 NE, an archetypal binary protostellar system, in the 0.9-mm dust continuum emission
and the C18O (J=3–2) emission with the SubMillimeter Array (SMA). The SMA results show firm evidence for
a Keplerian circumbinary disk, circumstellar disks,
and an inner clearing in the circumbinary disk, in L1551 NE. We demonstrate that future observations of L1551 NE
with Atacama Large Millimeter and submillimeter Array (ALMA) have the potential to unveil
the theoretically-predicted “accretion streams” that channel material from the circumbinary disk to the
individual circumstellar disks. |
