Disks around massive young stellar objects: are they common?

Abstract (from CDS):

We present K-band polarimetric images of several massive young stellar objects at resolutions ∼0.1"-0.5". The polarization vectors around these sources are nearly centrosymmetric, indicating they are dominating the illumination of each field. Three out of the four sources show elongated low-polarization structures passing through the centers, suggesting the presence of polarization disks. These structures and their surrounding reflection nebulae make up bipolar outflow/disk systems, supporting the collapse/accretion scenario as their low-mass siblings. In particular, S140 IRS 1 shows well-defined outflow cavity walls and a polarization disk which matches the direction of previously observed equatorial disk wind, thus confirming that the polarization disk is actually the circumstellar disk. To date, a dozen massive protostellar objects show evidence for the existence of disks; our work adds additional samples around massive young stellar objects equivalent to early B type stars.
