Relevance of Radio Astronomy • low dust opacity
mass, particle properties
• access cold material including disk midplane
• many spectral lines, heterodyne R~107 gas diagnostics, kinematics
• contrast with star planet-forming region
• low T, t low brightness imaging needs sensitivity

Snow Line Implications
Oberg et al. 2011
• enhance planetesimal formation– dramatically increase available solids– increase grain stickiness (icy mantles)
• multiple snow lines from species with low condensation temps
• influence planetesimal bulk composition- C/O in planetary atmospheres- H2O on planets (habitability)
12
• radial and vertical gradients • CO “snow line” = CO “snow surface”
- impossible to discern in (optically thick) CO emission
- may be teased out with a disk structure model and extensive analysis of resolved multi-transition, multi-isotope CO data (Qi et al. 2011)
Disks are 3D Objects
13
CO Snow Line and N2H+ Chemistry• use chemical selectivity to advantage• N2H+ is abundant only where CO highly
depleted– CO inhibits N2H+ formation– CO speeds up N2H+ destruction – CO freezes out at about 20 K
– observed in pre-stellar cores

CO Depletion in Pre-Stellar Cores
• N2H+ and CO anti-correlated in cold, dense cores

The TW Hya Disk System W
einberger et al. 2002
• closest gas-rich circumstellar disk (~50 pc)– M* ~ 0.8 M, age 3-10 Myr, – southern, isolated, viewed nearly face-
on – many studies with the SMA – good model of (outer) disk physical
structure

• stuck N2H+ J=4-3 line into free spw of Cycle 0 program– noted in proposal with no justification– higher excitation transition, not optimal for cold mid-
plane– lower angular resolution and less sensitivity…
ALMA N2H+ Imaging 2011.0.00340.S PI Qi
• observations– 2012 Nov 18– 372 GHz– 26 antennas, 2h– 0.6x0.6 arcsec– rms 25 mJy (0.1
km/s)Qi, Oberg, Wilner et al. 2013
19
Quantifying the N2H+ Ring Structure
• assume N2H+ power-law radial abundance profile
• RATRAN, fit for Rin, Rout, index
• Rin = 30 AU CO snow line
• TCO freeze-out ~18 K

Snow Lines in Protoplanetary Disks
• a series of “snow lines” arise from condensation fronts– impacts planetesimal formation and composition
• enhanced N2H+ abundance expected at CO freeze-out– a robust chemical marker for CO snow line
ALMA imaging of TW Hya CO snow line at 30 AU validates concept
• easy to extend to probe thermal effects and chemistry, e.g. do complex organics emerge from CO ice?
• need to identify chemical marker(s) for the H2O snow line
22
Origins of Organics in Disks2013.0.00114.S PI Oberg
• H2CO and CH3OH form from hydrogenation of CO ice
• but H2CO may also form through gas-phase pathways
• given the location of CO snow line, easy to discriminateCycle 2 simulations of TW Hya H2CO 31,2-21,1 emission (241.7 GHz)

The “Birth Ring” Paradigm• collisional cascade
creates smaller and smaller fragments
• micron-size dust blown out
• large dust can’t travel far

• extends to R=40 AU, to the break in scattered light profile– consistent with model based on size-dependent dust dynamics– appears sharply truncated; reminiscent of the classical Kuiper Belt
• surface density of planetesimals rises with radius, S(r) ~ r2.8 – collisional depletion by outward wave of planet formation?
AU Mic Outer Dust Belt Properties
Kennedy and Wyatt 2010
Kenyon and Bromley 2004
• no detectable asymmetries in structure or position– no significant clumps, e.g. due to resonances with orbiting planet– centroid offset limit compatible with presence of Uranus-like
planet
33
AU Mic Central Peak Emission• unresolved and 6x stronger than stellar photosphere• stellar corona? models can match millimeter and X-ray
• asteroid-like belt at R<3 AU? compatible with infrared limits
Cranmer, MacGregor, Wilner 2014
34
AU Mic Higher Resolution Simulations
• easy to resolve an asteroid belt with longer baselines• a stellar corona will remain unresolved
Inner Dust Belt Stellar Corona
• we’ll find out from Meredith Hughes’s ALMA Cycle 1 program
New Views of Planet-Forming Disks• planets form in circumstellar disks • major unknown is distribution/evolution of cold
dust and gas at Solar System scales: key observables for ALMA
• examples- imaging the CO snow line- revealing planetesimal belts
• expect surprises!

Secondary Molecular Gas in b Pictoris
• ALMA detects CO J=3-2 emission • 30% from one compact clump• icy planetesimals shattered by
collisions?– destruction of large comet every 5
minutes– trapping in the resonances of an
outer planet could account for localized gas production
• colliding Mars-mass bodies?
