Recent observations have revealed that most proto-planetary discs show a pattern of bright rings and dark gaps. However, most of the high-resolution observations have focused only on the continuum emission. In this Paper we present high-resolution ALMA band 7 (0.89mm) observations of the disc around the star CI Tau in the $^{12}$CO & $^{13}$CO $J=3$-2 and CS $J=7$-6 emission lines. Our recent work demonstrated that the disc around CI Tau contains three gaps and rings in continuum emission, and we look for their counterparts in the gas emission. While we find no counterpart of the third gap and ring in $^{13}$CO, the disc has a gap in emission at the location of the second continuum ring (rather than gap). We demonstrate that this is mostly an artefact of the continuum subtraction, although a residual gap still remains after accounting for this effect. Through radiative transfer modelling we propose this is due to the inner disc shadowing the outer parts of the disc and making them colder. This raises a note of caution in mapping high-resolution gas emission lines observations to the gas surface density - while possible, this needs to be done carefully. In contrast to $^{13}$CO, CS emission shows instead a ring morphology, most likely due to chemical effects. Finally, we note that $^{12}$CO is heavily absorbed by the foreground preventing any morphological study using this line.

对 CI Tau 原行星盘的分子发射线的高分辨率观测:行星雕刻的间隙或阴影?

最近的观察表明,大多数原行星盘都显示出亮环和暗间隙的图案。然而,大多数高分辨率观测只关注连续谱发射。在本文中,我们展示了 $^{12}$CO & $^{13}$CO $J=3$-2 和 CS 中 CI Tau 星周围盘的高分辨率 ALMA 波段 7(0.89 毫米)观测$J=7$-6 排放线。我们最近的工作表明,CI Tau 周围的圆盘在连续发射中包含三个间隙和环,我们在气体发射中寻找它们的对应物。虽然我们在 $^{13}$CO 中没有发现第三个间隙和环的对应物,但圆盘在第二个连续环的位置(而不是间隙)有一个发射间隙。我们证明这主要是连续减法的人工制品,尽管在考虑到这种影响后仍然存在剩余差距。通过辐射传递建模,我们提出这是由于内部圆盘遮蔽了圆盘的外部并使它们更冷。这引起了在将高分辨率气体排放线观测映射到气体表面密度时的注意事项——虽然可能,但需要谨慎完成。与 $^{13}$CO 相反,CS 发射显示出环状形态,这很可能是由于化学效应。最后,我们注意到 $^{12}$CO 被前景严重吸收,阻止使用这条线进行任何形态学研究。这引起了在将高分辨率气体排放线观测映射到气体表面密度时的注意事项——尽管可能,这需要谨慎完成。与 $^{13}$CO 相反,CS 发射显示出环状形态,这很可能是由于化学效应。最后,我们注意到 $^{12}$CO 被前景严重吸收,阻止使用这条线进行任何形态学研究。这引起了在将高分辨率气体排放线观测映射到气体表面密度时的注意事项——虽然可能,但需要谨慎完成。与 $^{13}$CO 相反,CS 发射显示出环状形态,这很可能是由于化学效应。最后,我们注意到 $^{12}$CO 被前景严重吸收,阻止使用这条线进行任何形态学研究。
