Surviving the Heat: multi-wavelength analysis of V883 Ori reveals that dust aggregates survive the sublimation of their ice mantles
2023
Overview
Investigating the response of icy dust aggregates to water ice sublimation is essential for understanding the formation and properties of planetesimals in protoplanetary discs. However, their fate remains unclear, as previous studies suggest aggregates could either survive or completely fall apart to (sub)m-sized grains. Protoplanetary discs around stars undergoing accretion outbursts represent a unique laboratory to study the ice sublimation process, as the water snowline is pushed outward to regions accessible to current observatories. In this work, we aim to understand the aggregates' response to ice sublimation by focusing on V883 Ori, a system currently undergoing a powerful accretion outburst. We present new analysis of archival high resolution ALMA observations of the protoplanetary disc of V883 Ori at 0.88, 1.3, 2.0, and 3.1 mm, and derive new radial spectral index profiles, which we compare with predictions from one-dimensional dust evolution simulations. In the region of V883 Ori where water ice has sublimated, we find lower spectral indices than previously obtained, indicating the presence of cm-sized particles. Coupled with our dust evolution models, we find that the only way to explain their presence is to assume they formed before the outburst, and survived the sublimation process. The resilience of dust aggregates to such intense events leads us to speculate that it may extend to other environments with more gentle heating, such as pebbles drifting through the water snowline in quiescent protoplanetary discs. In that case, it may alter the formation pathway of dry planetesimals interior to the snowline.
