GW Ori: Interactions between a Triple-star System and Its Circumtriple Disk in Action

Abstract: GW Ori is a hierarchical triple system with a rare circumtriple disk. We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of 1.3 mm dust continuum and 12CO J = 2 − 1 molecular gas emission of the disk. For the first time, we identify three dust rings in the GW Ori disk at ∼46, 188, and 338 au, with estimated dust mass of 74, 168, and 245 Earth masses, respectively. To our knowledge, its outermost ring is the largest dust ring ever found in protoplanetary disks. We use visibility modelin… Show more

“…Recent observations of the triple star system GW Orionis have shown a peculiar geometry, consisting of a circumtriple broken misaligned disc with three dust rings (Bi et al 2020;Kraus et al 2020). GW Orionis is a young hierarchical triple stellar system (1 ± 0.1Myr, Calvet et al (2004)) in the Orion Molecular Cloud at a distance of 388 ± 5pc (Kounkel et al 2017).…”

“…GW Ori is a triple star system that includes a misaligned circumtriple disc. With ALMA observations, three dust rings which have different mutual inclinations (> 10 • ) to the stars have been identified (Bi et al 2020;Kraus et al 2020). An initially misaligned disc that is not at a stationary inclination around an eccentric orbit binary undergoes tilt oscillations, even if it is evolving towards coplanarity (Smallwood et al 2019), and may evolve towards a more misaligned (polar) configuration with respect to the binary, such as in HD98800 (Kennedy et al 2019).…”

“…06 5 . This offset could be explained if the dust ring is eccentric, a feature naturally produced through binary-disk interaction (e.g., GW Ori, Bi et al 2020;Kraus et al 2020). In the 8 mm image, emission from (or close to) the two stars is marginally resolved and well separated from the dust ring.…”
