This work aims to understand which midplane conditions are probed by the DCO$^+$ emission in the disk around the Herbig Ae star HD 169142. We explore the sensitivity of the DCO$^+$ formation pathways to the gas temperature and the CO abundance. The DCO$^+$ $J$=3-2 transition was observed with ALMA at a spatial resolution of 0.3. The HD 169142 DCO$^+$ radial intensity profile reveals a warm, inner component at radii <30 AU and a broad, ring-like structure from ~50-230 AU with a peak at 100 AU just beyond the millimeter grain edge. We modeled DCO$^+$ emission in HD 169142 with a physical disk structure adapted from the literature, and employed a simple deuterium chemical network to investigate the formation of DCO$^+$ through the cold deuterium fractionation pathway via H$_2$D$^+$. Contributions from the warm deuterium fractionation pathway via CH$_2$D$^+$ are approximated using a constant abundance in the intermediate disk layers. Parameterized models show that alterations to the midplane gas temperature and CO abundance of the literature model are both needed to recover the observed DCO$^+$ radial intensity profile. The best-fit model contains a shadowed, cold midplane in the region z/r < 0.1 with an 8 K decrease in gas temperature and a factor of five CO depletion just beyond the millimeter grain edge, and a 2 K decrease in gas temperature for r > 120 AU. The warm deuterium fractionation pathway is implemented as a constant DCO$^+$ abundance of 2.0$times$10$^{-12}$ between 30-70 K. The DCO$^+$ emission probes a reservoir of cold material in the HD 169142 outer disk that is not revealed by the millimeter continuum, the SED, nor the emission from the 12CO, 13CO, or C18O $J$=2-1 lines.

We present a detailed multi-wavelength characterization of the multi-ring disk of HD 169142. We report new ALMA observations at 3 mm and analyze them together with archival 0.89 and 1.3 mm data. Our observations resolve three out of the four rings in
the disk previously seen in high-resolution ALMA data. A simple parametric model is used to estimate the radial profile of the dust optical depth, temperature, density, and particle size distribution. We find that the multiple ring features of the disk are produced by annular accumulations of large particles, probably associated with gas pressure bumps. Our model indicates that the maximum dust grain size in the rings is $sim1$ cm, with slightly flatter power-law size distributions than the ISM-like size distribution ($psim3.5$) found in the gaps. In particular, the inner ring ($sim26$ au) is associated with a strong and narrow buildup of dust particles that could harbor the necessary conditions to trigger the streaming instability. According to our analysis, the snowlines of the most important volatiles do not coincide with the observed substructures. We explore different ring formation mechanisms and find that planet-disk interactions are the most likely scenario to explain the main features of HD 169142. Overall, our multi-wavelength analysis provides some of the first unambiguous evidence of the presence of radial dust traps in the rings of HD 169142. A similar analysis in a larger sample of disks could provide key insights on the impact that disk substructures have on the dust evolution and planet formation processes.
Knowledge of the midplane temperature of protoplanetary disks is one of the key ingredients in theories of dust growth and planet formation. However, direct measurement of this quantity is complicated, and often depends on the fitting of complex mode
ls to the data. In this paper we demonstrate a method to directly measure the midplane gas temperature from an optically thick molecular line, if the disk is moderately inclined. The only model assumption that enters is that the line is very optically thick, also in the midplane region where we wish to measure the temperature. Freeze-out of the molecule onto dust grains could thwart this. However, in regions that are expected to be warm enough to avoid freeze-out, this method should work. We apply the method to the CO 2-1 line channel maps of the disk around HD 163296. We find that the midplane temperature between 100 and 400 au drops only mildly from 25 K down to 18 K. While we see no direct evidence of the midplane being optically thin due to strong CO depletion by freeze-out, we cannot rule it out either. The fact that the inferred temperatures are close to the expected CO freeze-out temperature could be an indication of this. Incidently, for the disk around HD 163296 we also find dynamic evidence for a rather abrupt outer edge of the disk, suggestive of outside-in photoevaporation or truncation by an unseen companion.
The protoplanetary system HD 169142 is one of the few cases where a potential candidate protoplanet has been recently detected via direct imaging. To study the interaction between the protoplanet and the disk itself observations of the gas and dust s
urface density structure are needed. This paper reports new ALMA observations of the dust continuum at 1.3,mm, $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO and C$^{18}$O $J=2-1$ emission from the system HD 169142 at angular resolution of $sim 0.18 - 0.28$ ($sim 20,$au$ - 33,$au). The dust continuum emission reveals a double-ring structure with an inner ring between $0.17-0.28$ ($sim 20 - 35,$au) and an outer ring between $0.48-0.64$ ($sim 56 - 83,$au). The size and position of the inner ring is in good agreement with previous polarimetric observations in the near-infrared and is consistent with dust trapping by a massive planet. No dust emission is detected inside the inner dust cavity ($R lesssim 20,$au) or within the dust gap ($sim 35 - 56,$au). In contrast, the channel maps of the $J=2-1$ line of the three CO isotopologues reveal the presence of gas inside the dust cavity and dust gap. The gaseous disk is also much larger than the compact dust emission extending to $sim 1.5$ ($sim 180,$au) in radius. This difference and the sharp drop of the continuum emission at large radii point to radial drift of large dust grains ($>$ micron-size). Using the thermo-chemical disk code textsc{dali}, the continuum and the CO isotopologues emission are modelled to quantitatively measure the gas and dust surface densities. The resulting gas surface density is reduced by a factor of $sim 30-40$ inward of the dust gap. The gas and dust distribution hint at the presence of multiple planets shaping the disk structure via dynamical clearing (dust cavity and gap) and dust trapping (double ring dust distribution).
It is key to constrain the gas surface density distribution, Sigma_gas, as function of disk radius in protoplanetary disks. In this work we investigate if spatially resolved observations of rarer CO isotopologues may be good tracers of Sigma_gas. Phy
sical-chemical models with different input Sigma_gas(R) are run. The input disk surface density profiles are compared with the simulated 13CO intensity radial profiles to check if and where the two follow each other. There is always an intermediate region in the disk where the slope of the 13CO radial emission profile and Sigma_gas(R) coincide. At small radii the line radial profile underestimates Sigma_gas, as 13CO emission becomes optically thick. The same happens at large radii where the column densities become too low and 13CO is not able to efficiently self-shield. If the gas surface density profile is a simple power-law of the radius, the input power-law index can be retrieved within 20% uncertainty if one choses the proper radial range. If instead Sigma_gas(R) follows the self-similar solution for a viscously evolving disk, retrieving the input power-law index becomes challenging, in particular for small disks. Nevertheless, it is found that the power-law index can be in any case reliably fitted at a given line intensity contour around 6 K km/s, and this produces a practical method to constrain the slope of Sigma_gas(R). Application of such a method is shown in the case study of the TW Hya disk. Spatially resolved 13CO line radial profiles are promising to probe the disk surface density distribution, as they directly trace Sigma_gas(R)profile at radii well resolvable by ALMA. There, chemical processes like freeze-out and isotope selective photodissociation do not affect the emission, and, assuming that the volatile carbon does not change with radius, no chemical model is needed when interpreting the observations.
In an effort to simultaneously study the gas and dust components of the disc surrounding the young Herbig Ae star HD 169142, we present far-IR observations obtained with the PACS instrument onboard the Herschel Space Observatory. This work is part of
the Open Time Key Project GASPS, which is aimed at studying the evolution of protoplanetary discs. To constrain the gas properties in the outer disc, we observed the star at several key gas-lines, including [OI] 63.2 and 145.5 micron, [CII] 157.7 micron, CO 72.8 and 90.2 micron, and o-H2O 78.7 and 179.5 micron. We only detect the [OI] 63.2 micron line in our spectra, and derive upper limits for the other lines. We complement our data set with PACS photometry and 12/13CO data obtained with the Submillimeter Array. Furthermore, we derive accurate stellar parameters from optical spectra and UV to mm photometry. We model the dust continuum with the 3D radiative transfer code MCFOST and use this model as an input to analyse the gas lines with the thermo-chemical code ProDiMo. Our dataset is consistent with a simple model in which the gas and dust are well-mixed in a disc with a continuous structure between 20 and 200 AU, but this is not a unique solution. Our modelling effort allows us to constrain the gas-to-dust mass ratio as well as the relative abundance of the PAHs in the disc by simultaneously fitting the lines of several species that originate in different regions. Our results are inconsistent with a gas-poor disc with a large UV excess; a gas mass of 5.0 +/- 2.0 times 10^(-3) Msun is still present in this disc, in agreement with earlier CO observations.
