abstract

Current imaging observations of protoplanetary disks using ALMA primarily focus on the sub-millimeter wavelength, leaving a gap in effective observational approaches for centimeter-sized dust, which is crucial to the issue of planet formation. The forthcoming SKA and ngVLA may rectify this deficiency. In this paper, we employ multi-fluid hydrodynamic numerical simulations and radiative transfer calculations to investigate the potential of SKA1-Mid, ngVLA, and SKA2 for imaging protoplanetary disks at sub-cm/cm wavelengths. We create mock images with ALMA/SKA/ngVLA at multi-wavelengths based on the hydrodynamical simulation output, and test different sensitivity and spatial resolutions. We discover that both SKA and ngVLA will serve as excellent supplements to the existing observational range of ALMA, and their high resolution enables them to image substructures in the disk's inner region ($\sim$ 5 au from the stellar). Our results indicate that SKA and ngVLA can be utilized for more extended monitoring programs in the centimeter waveband. While in the sub-centimeter range, ngVLA possesses the capability to produce high-fidelity images within shorter observation times ($\sim$ 1 hour on source time) than previous research, holding potential for future survey observations. We also discuss for the first time the potential of SKA2 for observing protoplanetary disks at a 0.7 cm wavelength.

    astro-ph.EP 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Faint Class II disks in Taurus show the same 198-358 GHz spectral index distribution as brighter disks, suggesting they too are optically thick at submillimeter wavelengths.

  2. Observational Signatures of Dust Traffic Jams in Polar-Aligning Circumbinary Disks

    astro-ph.EP 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    During polar alignment of a misaligned circumbinary disk, differential precession piles dust into grain-size-dependent traffic jams that should appear as resolvable centimeter-wavelength rings for SKA and ngVLA.
