Abstract

In binary stellar systems, exoplanet searches have revealed planetary mass companions orbiting both in circumstellar and in circumbinary orbits. Modelling studies suggest increased dynamical complexity around the young stars that form such systems. Circumstellar and circumbinary disks likely exhibit different physical conditions for planet formation, which also depends on the stellar separation. Although binaries and higher order multiple stars are relatively common in nearby star-forming regions, surprisingly few systems with circumbinary distributions of proto-planetary material have been found. With its spectacular ring of dust and gas encircling the central triple star, one such system, GG Tau A, has become a unique laboratory for investigating the physics of circumsystem gas and dust evolution. We review here its physical properties.

Acknowledgments

We warmly thank Michal Simon who initiated the first observations of GG Tau at mm wavelengths, a long time ago in an almost far far away galaxy. We also acknowledge all the members of our “fellowship of the ring”, Hervé Beust, Jeff Bary, Yann Boehler, Edwige Chapillon, Fréderic Gueth, Jean-Marc Huré and Vincent Piétu, with special thanks to Arnaud Pierens who made the bottom panels of Fig. 3 and patiently answered our numerous questions about CB disk formation and angular momentum transport in multiple systems and to Ya.Wen Tang for the UY Auriga figure and the next GG (S)Tauri. We also thank Pavel Artymowicz, Steve Lubow, Claude Roddier, Yoichi Itoh and Andy Skemer for providing material for figures. We acknowledge the IRAM staff at NOEMA and Grenoble for carrying out part of the observations. This paper makes use of the following ALMA data: ADS/JAO.ALMA#2012.1.00129.S.
