The Disk and Environment of the Herbig B[CLC]e[/CLC] Star HD 100546
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Coronagraphic imaging of the nearest Herbig Be star with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope , Ks (2.15 μm) imaging with ADONIS at the 3.6 m telescope at La Silla, and mid-infrared imaging with OSCIR using the 4 m Blanco Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory confirm the detection of the disk reported by Pantin et al. and map the disk out to 5'' (∼515 AU) in the optical and at Ks . While the source is unresolved at 10 and 18 μm, it can be traced to 1 5 at 11.7 μm. We confirm the change in the radial dependence of the disk surface brightness near 2 7 seen at 1.6 μm by Augereau et al. at Ks . No such break in the power law is seen in the optical. The STIS data reveal spiral dark lane structure, making HD 100546 the third near–zero-age main-sequence Herbig Ae/Be star with structure more than 100 AU from the star. We also optically detect a low surface brightness envelope extending 10'' (1000 AU) from the star, in addition to nebulosity, which is probably associated with DC 292.6-7.9. The survival of the envelope through essentially the entire pre–main-sequence lifetime of the star, coupled with the absence of physical companions within 1500 AU of the star, suggests that envelope lifetimes owe more to the star-forming environment than to mass-loss activity from the Herbig Ae/Be star.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
