Observing planet-driven dust spirals with ALMA

Dataset and image gallery supplementing the publication:

Speedie, J., Booth R.A. & Dong, R. (2022). Observing Planet-driven Dust Spirals with ALMA. ApJ, 930:40 (22pp).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

data.zip contains fits files of synthetic ALMA Band 7 continuum observations [mJy/beam].

image.gallery.zip contains a ready-made visualization of everything in data.zip: an image gallery (and quicklook movies) of disk images [mJy/beam] and residual maps [S/N]

Loose *.mp4 files are also present in image.gallery.zip.

The following model permutations are available:

1. Face-on disks:

• x2 equation of state (isothermal, adiabatic with beta=10)
• x3 planet mass (0.3, 1.0 and 3.0 thermal masses)
• x4 disk optical depth (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 initial tau at Rp)
• x6 requested observing sensitivity (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 uJy/beam)
• x3 antenna configuration pairs (C43-4 + C43-7, C43-5 + C43-8, C43-6 + C43-9)

= 432 synthetic ALMA Band 7 continuum images (+24 model dust continuum emission maps that served as input [Jy/arcsec2])

2. Inclined disks:

• x1 equation of state (adiabatic with beta=10)
• x1 planet mass (1.0 thermal masses)
• x4 disk optical depth (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0 initial tau at Rp)
• x3 disk inclinations (30, 50 and 70 degrees)
• x2 planet position angle (on major axis, on minor axis)
• x6 requested observing sensitivity (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 uJy/beam)
• x1 antenna configuration pairs (C43-5 + C43-8)

= 144 synthetic ALMA Band 7 continuum images
