High-mass multiples might form via fragmentation of self-gravitational disks or alternative scenarios such as disk-assisted capture. However, only few observational constraints exist on the architecture and disk structure of high-mass protobinaries and their accretion properties. Here we report the discovery of a close ($57.9pm0.2$mas=170au) high-mass protobinary, IRAS17216-3801, where our VLTI/GRAVITY+AMBER near-infrared interferometry allows us to image the circumstellar disks around the individual components with 3 milliarcsecond resolution. We estimate the component masses to $sim20$ and $sim18 M_{odot}$ and find that the radial intensity profiles can be reproduced with an irradiated disk model, where the inner regions are excavated of dust, likely tracing the dust sublimation region in these disks. The circumstellar disks are strongly misaligned with respect to the binary separation vector, which indicates that the tidal forces did not have time to realign the disks, pointing towards a young dynamical age of the system. We constrain the distribution of the Br$gamma$ and CO-emitting gas using VLTI/GRAVITY spectro-interferometry and VLT/CRIRES spectro-astrometry and find that the secondary is accreting at a higher rate than the primary. VLT/NACO imaging shows $L$-band emission on 3-4 times larger scales than the binary separation, matching the expected dynamical truncation radius for the circumbinary disk. The IRAS17216-3801 system is $sim3times$ more massive and $sim5times$ more compact than other high-mass multiplies imaged at infrared wavelengths and the first high-mass protobinary system where circumstellar and circumbinary dust disks could be spatially resolved. This opens exciting new opportunities for studying star-disk interactions and the role of multiplicity in high-mass star formation.

We investigate the gas structures around young binary stars by using three-dimensional numerical simulations. Each model exhibits circumstellar disks, spiral arms, and a circumbinary disk with an inner gap or cavity. The circumbinary disk has an asym
metric pattern rotating at an angular velocity of approximately one-fourth of the binary orbit of the moderate-temperature models. Because of this asymmetry, the circumbinary disk has a density bump and a vortex, both of which continue to exist until the end of our calculation. The density bump and vortex are attributed to enhanced angular momentum, which is promoted by the gravitational torque of the stars. In a hot model ($c ge 2.0$), the asymmetry rotates considerably more slowly than in the moderate-temperature models. The cold models ($c le 0.02$) exhibit eccentric circumbinary disks, the precession of which is approximated by a secular motion of the ballistic particles. The asymmetry in the circumbinary disk does not depend on the mass ratio, but it becomes less clear as the specific angular momentum of the infalling envelope increases. The relative accretion rate onto the stars is sensitive to the angular momentum of the infalling envelope. For envelopes with constant angular momentum, the secondary tends to have a higher accretion rate than the primary, except in very low angular momentum cases. For envelopes with a constant angular velocity, the primary has a higher accretion rate than the secondary because gas with low specific angular momentum falls along the polar directions.
Recent exo-planetary surveys reveal that planets can orbit and survive around binary stars. This suggests that some fraction of young binary systems which possess massive circumbinary disks (CB) may be in the midst of planet formation. However, there
are very few CB disks detected. We revisit one of the known CB disks, the UY Aurigae system, and probe 13CO 2-1, C18O 2-1, SO 5(6)-4(5) and 12CO 3-2 line emission and the thermal dust continuum. Our new results confirm the existence of the CB disk. In addition, the circumstellar (CS) disks are clearly resolved in dust continuum at 1.4 mm. The spectral indices between the wavelengths of 0.85 mm and 6 cm are found to be surprisingly low, being 1.6 for both CS disks. The deprojected separation of the binary is 1.26 based on our 1.4 mm continuum data. This is 0.07 (10 AU) larger than in earlier studies. Combining the fact of the variation of UY Aur B in $R$ band, we propose that the CS disk of an undetected companion UY Aur Bb obscures UY Aur Ba. A very complex kinematical pattern inside the CB disk is observed due to a mixing of Keplerian rotation of the CB disk, the infall and outflow gas. The streaming gas accreting from the CB ring toward the CS disks and possible outflows are also identified and resolved. The SO emission is found to be at the bases of the streaming shocks. Our results suggest that the UY Aur system is undergoing an active accretion phase from the CB disk to the CS disks. The UY Aur B might also be a binary system, making the UY Aur a triple system.
We present SubMillimeter-Array observations of a Keplerian disk around the Class I protobinary system L1551 NE in 335 GHz continuum emission and submillimeter line emission in 13CO (J=3-2) and C18O (J=3-2) at a resolution of ~120 x 80 AU. The 335-GHz
dust-continuum image shows a strong central peak closely coincident with the binary protostars and likely corresponding to circumstellar disks, surrounded by a ~600 x 300 AU feature elongated approximately perpendicular to the [Fe II] jet from the southern protostellar component suggestive of a circumbinary disk. The 13CO and C18O images confirm that the circumbinary continuum feature is indeed a rotating disk; furthermore, the C18O channel maps can be well modeled by a geometrically-thin disk exhibiting Keplerian rotation. We estimate a mass for the circumbinary disk of ~0.03-0.12 Msun, compared with an enclosed mass of ~0.8 Msun that is dominated by the protobinary system. Compared with several other Class I protostars known to exhibit Keplerian disks, L1551 NE has the lowest bolometric temperature (~91 K), highest envelope mass (~0.39 Msun), and the lowest ratio in stellar mass to envelope + disk + stellar mass (~0.65). L1551 NE may therefore be the youngest protostellar object so far found to exhibit a Keplerian disk. Our observations present firm evidence that Keplerian disks around binary protostellar systems, ``Keplerian circumbinary disks, can exist. We speculate that tidal effects from binary companions could transport angular momenta toward the inner edge of the circumbinary disk and create the Keplerian circumbinary disk.
We carry out 2D viscous hydrodynamics simulations of circumbinary disk (CBD) accretion using {footnotesize AREPO}. We resolve the accretion flow from a large-scale CBD down to the streamers and disks around individual binary components. Extending our
recent studies citep{mun19}, we consider circular binaries with various mass ratios ($0.1leq q_{rm{b}}leq1$) and study accretion from ``infinite, steady-supply disks and from finite-sized, viscously spreading tori. For ``infinite disks, a global steady state can be reached, and the accretion variability has a dominant frequency ${sim}0.2Omega_{rm{b}}$ for $q_{rm{b}}>0.5$ and $Omega_{rm{b}}$ for $q_{rm{b}}<0.5$, ($Omega_{rm{b}}$ is the binary angular frequency). We find that the accretion ``eigenvalue $l_0$ -- the net angular momentum transfer from the disk to the binary per unit accreted mass -- is always positive and falls in the range ($0.65$-$0.85)a_{rm b}^2Omega_{rm{b}}$ (with $a_{rm{b}}$ the binary separation), depending weakly on the mass ratio and viscosity. This leads to binary expansion when $q_{rm{b}}gtrsim0.3$. Accretion from a finite torus can be separated into two phases: an initial transient phase, corresponding to the filling of the binary cavity, followed by a viscous pseudo-stationary phase, during which the torus viscously spreads and accretes onto the binary. In the viscous phase, the net torque on the binary per unit accreted mass is close to $l_0$, the value derived for ``infinite disks. We conclude that similar-mass binaries accreting from CBDs gain angular momentum and expand over long time scales. This result significantly impacts the coalescence of supermassive binary black holes and newly formed binary stars. We offer a word of caution against conclusions drawn from simulations of transient accretion onto empty circumbinary cavities.
We present the evolution of rotational directions of circumstellar disks in a triple protostar system simulated from a turbulent molecular cloud core with no magnetic field. We find a new formation pathway of a counter-rotating circumstellar disk in
such triple systems. The tertiary protostar forms via the circumbinary disk fragmentation and the initial rotational directions of all the three circumstellar disks are almost parallel to that of the orbital motion of the binary system. Their mutual gravito-hydrodynamical interaction for the subsequent $sim10^4thinspacerm{yr}$ greatly disturbs the orbit of the tertiary, and the rotational directions of the tertiary disk and star are reversed due to the spiral-arm accretion of the circumbinary disk. The counter-rotation of the tertiary circumstellar disk continues to the end of the simulation ($sim6.4times10^4thinspacerm{yr}$ after its formation), implying that the counter-rotating disk is long-lived. This new formation pathway during the disk evolution in Class 0/I Young Stellar Objects possibly explains the counter-rotating disks recently discovered by ALMA.
