The circumestellar disk of the B0 protostar powering the HH 80-81 radio jet

We present subarcsecond angular resolution observations carried out with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) at 880 $\mu$m centered at the B0-type protostar GGD27~MM1, the driving source of the parsec scale HH 80-81 jet. We constrain its polarized continuum emission to be $\lesssim0.8\%$ at this wavelength. Its submm spectrum is dominated by sulfur-bearing species tracing a rotating disk--like structure (SO and SO$_2$ isotopologues mainly), but also shows HCN-bearing and CH$_3$OH lines, which trace the disk and the outflow cavity walls excavated by the HH 80-81 jet. The presence of many sulfurated lines could indicate the presence of shocked gas at the disk's centrifugal barrier or that MM1 is a hot core at an evolved stage. The resolved SO$_2$ emission traces very well the disk kinematics and we fit the SMA observations using a thin-disk Keplerian model, which gives the inclination (47$^{\circ}$), the inner ($\lesssim170$ AU) and outer ($\sim950-1300$~AU) radii and the disk's rotation velocity (3.4 km s$^{-1}$ at a putative radius of 1700 AU). We roughly estimate a protostellar dynamical mass of 4-18\msun. MM2 and WMC cores show, comparatively, an almost empty spectra suggesting that they are associated with extended emission detected in previous low-angular resolution observations, and therefore indicating youth (MM2) or the presence of a less massive object (WMC).
