Abstract

We present Keck/NIRC2 KpLpK_{\rm p}L_{\rm p} high-contrast imaging observations of a J0337 protoplanetary disk. The data discover the spatially-resolved large cavity, which is the second report among protoplanetary disks in the Perseus star forming region after the LkHα\alpha~330 system. Our data and forward modeling using RADMC-3D suggests 80\sim80~au for the cavity radius. There is discrepancy between J0337's SED and the modeled SED at 10\micron\sim10\micron and this suggests an unseen inner disk. We also searched for companions around J0337 but did not detect any companion candidates at separations between 0\farcs10\farcs1 and 2\farcs52\farcs5. The LpL_{\rm p}-band detection limit corresponds to 20MJup\sim20 M_{\rm Jup} at 60~au, 910MJup\sim9-10 M_{\rm Jup} at 90~au, and 3MJup\sim3 M_{\rm Jup} at >120>120~au. Compared with other young systems with large cavities such as PDS~70 and RX~J1604, multiple Jovian planets, a single eccentric Jovian planet, or a massive brown-dwarf at an inner separation could exist within the cavity.
