The kinematic relationship between disk and jet in the DG Tauri system
Abstract
We present high angular resolution millimeter wavelength continuum and ^(13)CO(2-1) observations of the circumstellar disk surrounding the T Tauri star DG Tauri. We show that the velocity pattern in the inner regions of the disk is consistent with Keplerian rotation about a central 0.67 M_⊙ star. The disk rotation is also consistent with the toroidal velocity pattern in the initial channel of the optical jet, as inferred from HST spectra of the first de-projected 100 AU from the source. Our observations support the tight relationship between disk and jet kinematics postulated by the popular magneto-centrifugal models for jet formation and collimation.
