Extended Millimeter Emission in the HD 141569 Circumstellar Disk Detected with ALMA

We present archival Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the HD 141569 circumstellar disk at 345, 230, and 100 GHz. These data detect extended millimeter emission that is exterior to the inner disk. We find through simultaneous visibility modeling of all three data sets that the system's morphology is described well by a two-component disk model. The inner disk ranges from approximately 16-45 au with a spectral index of 1.81 (q = 2.95), and the outer disk ranges from 95 to 300 au with a spectral index of 2.28 (q = 3.21). Azimuthally averaged radial emission profiles derived from the continuum images at each frequency show potential emission that is consistent with the visibility modeling. The analysis presented here shows that at similar to 5Myr, HD 141569's grain size distribution is steeper and therefore possibly evolved in the outer disk than in the inner disk.
