摘要
The Herbig Ae star HD 169142 is one of the objects that show complex structure, such as multiple (innermost, middle, and outer) disks, gaps, and unresolved sources. We made N-band (8-13 mu m) observations of HD 169142 with the Cooled Mid-Infrared Camera and Spectrometer on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope. The images are spatially resolved out to an similar to 1 '' radius in all the observed bands. We made a simple disk model composed of an unresolved central source (representing the innermost disk/halo) and the ring at a radius r similar to 25 au (corresponding to the. inner wall or edge of a middle disk at similar to 25-40 au). The radial intensity profile within the central region (less than or similar to 0.'' 3 or less than or similar to 40 au) is well reproduced by the model. Furthermore, we subtracted the model image from the observed one to search for additional structures. In the model-subtracted images, we found an unresolved west. source separated by 17.0 +/- 2.9 au in the direction of position angle. 260 degrees +/- 5 degrees from the original emission peak, which is supposed to correspond to the position of the central star, and a bright east. arc located at r similar to 60 au. The west. source is different from the L'-band unresolved source recently found in coronagraphic observations. It could be a structure related to planet formation in the disk, such as a circumplanetary disk or clumpy disk structure. The east. arc corresponds to the inner wall or edge of the outer disk.
