\begin{abstract}
We present spatially resolved Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) images of $^{12}$CO~$\mathrm{J}=3-2$
emission from the protoplanetary disk around the Herbig Ae star, HD~100546. We
expand upon earlier analyses of this data and model the spatially-resolved
kinematic structure (i.e., the first moment map) of the CO emission. Assuming a
velocity profile which prescribes a flat or flared emitting surface in
Keplerian rotation, we uncover significant residuals with a peak of
$\approx7\delta v$, where $\delta v = 0.21$~\kms~is the width of a single
spectral resolution element. The shape and extent of the residuals reveal the
possible presence of a severely warped and twisted inner disk extending to at
most $90-100$~au (\textbf{it strikes me as a little awkward to give a range for
a maximum value.. what if we just say `at most 100'?}). Adapting the model to
include a misaligned inner disk with (i) an inclination almost edge-on to the
line of sight and (ii) a position angle almost orthogonal to that of the outer
disk reduces the residuals to $< 3\delta v$. HD~100546 joins several other
protoplanetary disks that exhibit non-Keplerian kinematics as evidenced by
molecular emission in the inner region. However, our findings are contrasted by
recent VLT/SPHERE, MagAO/GPI, and VLTI/PIONIER observations of HD~100546 that
show no evidence of a severely misaligned inner {\em dust} disk down to spatial
scales of $\sim 1$~au. An alternative explanation for the observed kinematics
are fast radial flows across the inner dust cavity. Regardless of the process,
the most likely cause is the presence of an unseen planetary companion.

\section{INTRODUCTION}
\label{introduction}
Observations of protoplanetary disks around nearby young stars offer unique
insight into the initial conditions of planetary system formation.
Resolved continuum observations spanning optical to cm wavelengths
reveal the spatial distribution of dust across a range of grain sizes,
which in turn, can highlight signposts of ongoing planet formation
and/or as yet unseen massive companions/planets (e.g., cavities, gaps, rings,
and spirals; see the recent reviews by
\citealt{espaillat14}, \citealt{andrews15}, and \citealt{grady15}).
Likewise, spectrally and spatially resolved observations of molecular
line emission disclose the spatial distribution and excitation of various
gas species, from which information on disk gas properties can be extracted
\citep[e.g.,][]{dutrey14,sicilia-aguilar16}.
Second only to \ce{H2} in gas-phase molecular abundance, CO is a powerful
diagnostic of various properties including the disk gas mass, radial surface
density, and temperature. The primary isotopologue $^{12}$CO is optically
thick, and thus emits from the warm disk atmosphere; this allows the
gas temperature in this region to be derived. \citep[e.g.,][]{williams11,dutrey14}. The
rarer isotopologues ($^{13}$CO, C$^{18}$O, C$^{17}$O and $^{13}$C$^{18}$O) have
progressively lower opacities and so enable penetration towards and into the
disk midplane (see, e.g., recent theoretical studies by \citealt{bruderer13},
\citealt{miotello16}, and \citealt{yu16}). In observations with sufficiently
high spatial resolution, now routine with ALMA, this allows a direct
determination of the location of the CO snowline with high precision
\citep[see, e.g.,][]{nomura16,schwarz16,zhang17}. However, it has been
demonstrated recently that chemistry, in particular isotope-selective
photodissociation \citep{visser09}, can complicate the extraction of disk gas
masses from CO isotopologue emission \citep{miotello14,miotello16}. Chemical
conversion of CO to a less volatile form, e.g., \ce{CO2}, complex organic
molecules, or hydrocarbons, is an alternative explanation for apparently low
disk masses derived from CO observations
\citep{helling14,furuya14,eistrup16,yu17}.
Because emission from $^{12}$CO (and often $^{13}$CO) at (sub)mm wavelengths
is bright, it has historically been used as a tracer of disk kinematics allowing
a dynamical determination of the mass of the central star \citep[e.g.,][]{simon00}.
However, gas motion can deviate from that expected due to
Keplerian rotation alone because of a variety of different physical effects
that can be inferred from spatially-resolved observations.
These include spiral density waves, a substantial (and thus measurable)
gas pressure gradient, radial flows mediated by accreting planets
across cavities, or a disk warp
\citep[see, e.g.,][]{rosenfeld12,tang12,casassus13,rosenfeld14,christiaens14,casassus15}.
Spirals, radial flows, and warps can all signify the presence
of (potentially massive) planetary companions;
hence, perturbations from Keplerian motion traced in
bright and spectrally- and spatially-resolved CO emission
may expose unseen planets.
Here, we present high signal-to-noise and spectrally-resolved
ALMA Cycle 0 images of $^{12}$CO $\mathrm{J}=3-2$ emission from the protoplanetary
disk around the nearby Herbig~Ae star, HD~100546.
The HD~100546 disk has been proposed to host (at least) two
massive companions \citep[see, e.g.,][]{acke06,quanz13,walsh14}.
However, recent MagAO/GPI observations presented in \citet{rameau17}
have raised doubt on the previous identification of the point source at 50~au
as a (proto)planet by two previous and independent groups \citep{currie15,quanz15}.
In \citet{walsh14}, henceforth referred to as Paper I,
we presented the $^{12}$CO ($\mathrm{J}=3-2$, $\nu=345.796$~GHz) first moment map
and dust continuum emission (at 302 and 346~GHz).
These data spatially resolved the CO emission and allowed direct
determination of the radial extent of the molecular disk ($\approx 390$~au,
see also \citealt{pineda14}).
The continuum data analysed in Paper I showed that the (sub)mm-sized dust grains
had been sculpted into two rings.
\citet{pinilla15} showed that this
dust morphology is consistent with dust trapping by two massive companions:
one with mass $\approx 20 M_\mathrm{J}$ at 10~au, and one with mass
$\approx 15 M_\mathrm{J}$ at 70~au.
Hence, the ALMA data support the presence of an outer (proto)planet.
Emission from $^{12}$CO ($\mathrm{J}=3-2$, $6-5$, and $7-6$) from HD~100546
had been detected previously in single-dish observations with APEX \citep{panic10}.
The APEX data revealed an asymmetry in the red and blue peaks
in the double-peaked line profiles most apparent in the $\mathrm{J}=3-2$
and $6-5$ transitions.
\citet{panic10} hypothesised that the asymmetry may arise
due to shadowing of the outer disk by a warp in the inner disk.
Using the same data set as here, \citet{pineda14} showed that the
position-velocity ($p-v$) diagram across the major axis of the disk is
better described by a disk inclination of $\approx 30\degree$,
rather than an inclination of $44\degree$ that best reproduces the
aspect ratio of the disk as seen in continuum emission (Paper I).
In this work we revisit the HD~100546 ALMA Cycle~0 data and conduct a deeper analysis
of the spatially and spectrally resolved $^{12}$CO $\mathrm{J}=3-2$ emission.
The focus of this work is the search for evidence of a warp in the inner
regions of the disk, as suggested by the single dish data presented in
\citet{panic10}.
In Section~\ref{almaimages}, we outline the imaging presented
in the paper, and in
Section~\ref{modelkinematics} we describe the modelling techniques
used and present the results.
Sections~\ref{discussion} and \ref{conclusion} discuss the implications
and state the conclusions, respectively.
\section{ALMA~IMAGING~OF~HD~100546 }
\label{almaimages}
HD~100546 was observed with ALMA on 2012 November 24 with
24 antennas in a compact configuration, with baselines
ranging from 21 to 375~m.
The self-calibrated and phase-corrected
measurement set, produced as described in Paper I,
is used in these analyses.
In this work, we adopt the revised distance to
HD~100546 determined by Gaia \citep[$109\pm4$ pc,][]{gaia16a,gaia16b},
and a stellar mass of $2.4 \mathrm{M}_{\odot}$, \citep{vandenancker98}
In Paper I, the integrated intensity
and first moment maps from the $^{12}$CO $\mathrm{J}=3-2$ rotational
transition at 345.795~GHz ($E_\mathrm{up} = 33.19~\mathrm{K}$
and $A_\mathrm{ul} = 2.497\times 10^{-6}~\mathrm{s}^{-1}$) were presented.
The data cube from which those maps were produced was itself produced
using the CASA task \texttt{clean} with Briggs weighting (robust=0.5)
at a spectral resolution of 0.15~\kms.
The resulting channel maps had an rms noise of 19 mJy~\perbeam~channel$^{-1}$
and a synthesised beam of $0\farcs95\times0\farcs42~(38\degree)$.
The $^{12}$CO was strongly detected with a signal-to-noise ratio
(S/N) of 163 in the channel maps.
Because of the high S/N the imaging is redone here
using uniform weighting which results in a smaller beam (and improved
spatial resolution) at the expense of sensitivity.
The resulting channel maps have an rms noise of 26
mJy~beam$^{-1}$~channel$^{-1}$, a S/N of 106, and
a synthesised beam of $0\farcs92\times0\farcs38~(37\degree)$.
Figure~\ref{figure1} presents the channel maps.
Emission is detected ($\ge 3\sigma$) across 111 channels: the central channel
is centred at the source velocity of 5.7~\kms~as constrained
previously by these data (see Paper I).
The highest velocity emission detected is $\pm 8$~\kms relative
to the source velocity.
Given that the disk inclination (as constrained by the outer disk)
is 44\degree~and that the stellar mass is $2.4 \mathrm{M}_\odot$,
emission is detected down to a radius of 15~au from the central star.
Using the estimate of $\approx 30\degree$ for the inclination of the
inner disk from \citet{pineda14}, reduces this radius to 8~au.
The channel maps in Figure~\ref{figure1} reveal the classic ``butterfly'' morphology of
spectrally- and spatially-resolved line emission from an inclined
and rotating protoplanetary disk \citep[see, e.g.,][]{semenov08}.
Compared with the resolved $^{12}$CO emission from
the disk around the Herbig Ae star HD~163296 which has a similar inclination,
there is no evidence of emission from the back side of disk that is a
signature of CO freezeout in the disk midplane coupled with
emission from a flared surface \citep{degregorio13,rosenfeld13}.
The blue-shifted emission also appears mostly symmetric about the disk major axes
(especially that from the south-east of the disk)
indicating that it arises from a relatively ``flat'' surface.
This is in contrast with emission from the disk around the Group I
Herbig Ae disk HD~97048 \citep{walsh16,vanderplas17}.
However, the emission is not wholly symmetric about the disk {\em minor} axis,
with the red-shifted emission from the north-west quadrant appearing both
fainter, and with a positional offset, relative to blue-shifted
emission at the same velocity.
In Figure~\ref{figure2} the channel maps from $\pm 0.45$ to $\pm 1.5$~\kms are
shown, now rotated counter-clockwise by 34\degree~($180\degree - $P.A.) to align the disk major axis in the vertical direction, and
mirrored across the disk minor axis.
Exhibiting the data in this velocity range and in this manner highlights
the described asymmetry in brightness across the disk minor axis, the flatness of the emission, and
the positional offset of the red-shifted north-west lobe relative to
its blue-shifted counterpart.
The brightest lobe to the north east, an apparent CO ``hot spot'', is
consistent in position angle with a proposed (proto)planetry companion
seen in direct imaging \citep{quanz13,currie15,quanz15,rameau17}.

Figure~\ref{figure3} presents the moment maps
(zeroth, first, second, and eighth).
The zeroth moment map (integrated intensity) was produced using
a $3\sigma$ rms noise clip.
The first (intensity-weighted velocity), second (intensity-weighted velocity dispersion),
and eighth (peak flux density) moment maps were produced using a more
conservative clip of $6\sigma$.
The integrated intensity appears relatively symmetric about the
disk minor axis; however, the $^{12}$CO integrated emission extends
further to the south-west than it does to the north-east.
This asymmetry is also evident in the eighth-moment map with the
north-east side of the disk appearing brighter than the south-west side
with a dark lane in the east-west direction also seen in scattered
light images with VLT/SPHERE \citep{garufi16}.
Both maps hint at emission from a flared disk which would lead to an
asymmetry in integrated emission across the disk major axis (i.e., the axis of inclination).
The first and second moment maps also hint at asymmetric emission, in particular,
the emission at the source velocity through the inner disk is twisted relative to the
disk minor axis determined from the continuum emission.
The velocity dispersion in the inner disk is also not wholly symmetric across
the disk minor axis.
A ``by-eye'' inspection of the first- and eighth-moment maps,
in particular, suggest the possible presence of a warp in the inner disk.

\section{MODELLING THE KINEMATICS}
\label{modelkinematics}
Modelling of the kinematics as traced by the $^{12}$CO emission is conducted
using analytical models which describe the line-of-sight projected velocity,
i.e. the first moment map (\textbf{isn't the first moment map technically the
intensity-weighted projected velocity?}).
The model moment maps are convolved with the synthesised beam of the observations.
The residuals ($\mathrm{data} - \mathrm{model}$) are in units of a single spectral
resolution element ($\delta v = 0.21$~\kms).
This discretisation is necessary because features smaller than the native spectral
resolution of the data cannot be fit.
Note that this analysis will not address the asymmetry in CO brightness across
the disk seen in the channel maps and zeroth and eighth moment maps.
We leave such an analysis to future work when data for multiple
CO transitions and isotopologues allow a robust extraction of
the gas surface density and gas temperature.
We explore several metrics of ``best fit'':
(i) the total number of pixels for which the analytical and smoothed
projected velocity reproduces the data within one spectral resolution element,
(ii) the sum of the square of the residuals normalised by the total number of unmasked pixels, and
(iii) the magnitude of the peak residual.
The total number of unmasked pixels in the observed first moment map is 2562.
Given the relatively small number of parameters for each model considered,
the modelling approach is grid based, i.e. all possible grid combinations are explored.
\subsection{A flat emitting surface}
The simplest prescription for describing the first moment map of spectrally-resolved
line emission from a disk
is axisymmetric emission arising from a geometrically flat surface inclined to the line of sight.
Assuming that the position angle of the disk is aligned with the
y axis, the projected velocity on the sky relative to the observer is described by
\begin{equation}
v(x',y') = \sqrt{\frac{G M_\star}{\rho}} \sin i \sin \theta,
\label{velocity}
\end{equation}
where $G$ is the gravitational constant, $M_\star$ is the mass of the central
star, $\rho=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ is the radius, $i$ is the inclination, and
$\theta = \arctan(y/x)$ \citep[e.g.,][]{rosenfeld13}.
In this projection and for this particular orientation,
$x = x'/\cos i$, $y = y'$, and $z = 0$.
Model first moment maps for a flat disk with the same P.A as HD~100546 and
inclinations of 30\degree, 45\degree, and 60\degree\ are shown in
Figure~\ref{figurea1} in the Appendix.
The wide range of disk inclinations ($[20\degree,60\degree]$) and disk position
angles ($[120\degree,170\degree]$) explored are motivated by previous analyses
of the continuum data which suggested a P.A.~of $146\degree \pm 4\degree$ and
an inclination of $44\degree \pm 3\degree$ \citep[see Paper I and][]{pineda14}.
Using the CO data (\textbf{I'm a little confused--which CO data is being
referred to here? The data used in this paper?}), \citet{pineda14} suggest that
the inner disk may be better described with an inclination of $\approx
30\degree$; as such, we extend our explored range accordingly to ensure good coverage
over the parameter space. First, a coarse grid with a resolution of
5\degree~is run over the full parameter space, followed by a zoomed in region
with a resolution of 1\degree.
The top-left panel of Figure~\ref{figure4} presents a 3D plot showing the
total number of pixels which fit the data velocity field within one spectral resolution
element, $\delta v$, as a function of disk inclination and position angle.
The distribution is strongly peaked: the best-fit flat disk model using this
metric has an inclination of 36\degree~and a P.A.~of 145\degree~with 62.1\% of model pixels
lying within one spectral resolution element of the data.
These data are also listed in Table~\ref{table1}.
The P.A.~is in excellent agreement with that derived from the continuum observations.
The inclination, on the other hand, is lower and closer
to the suggested inclination from \citet{pineda14}.
The left hand plots of Figure~\ref{figure5} show the distribution of residuals
summed over the entire disk (top panel) and the residual first moment map
(bottom panel). The histogram of residuals shows small dispersion of about 0
with 96.0\% of pixels matching the data within $\pm0.315$ \kms. The residual
map shows that a flat disk well reproduces the large-scale velocity field: the
largest deviations from this model occur in the innermost disk where the model
velocity field over-predicts (by up to $\approx 7\delta v$) the magnitude of the
projected line-of-sight velocity along the minor axis of the disk. This leads
to negative residuals in the north-east and positive residuals in the
south-west. The morphology of the residuals suggests that the inner disk has
an additional inclination along the minor axis of the outer disk, i.e., close
to orthogonal to that of the outer disk.

\subsection{A flared emitting surface}
Although a geometrically flat disk well reproduces much of the velocity field,
particularly for the outer disk, we test next whether emission from a flared
surface can improve upon the flat disk fit. This is important to check because
HD~100546 is classified as a Group I (i.e., flared) Herbig Ae star
\citep{meeus01}, so one might expect the $^{12}$CO emission to arise from a
layer higher up in the disk atmosphere. Indeed, thermo-chemical modelling of
the disk around HD~100546 by \citet{bruderer12} suggests that the $^{12}$CO
line emission arises from a layer $z/\rho \approx 0.2$.
\citet{rosenfeld13} modelled the emission from the disk around the Herbig~Ae
star HD~163296 by assuming that the emission arises from an inclined and flared
surface with some opening angle, $\alpha$, relative to the $(x,y)$ plane (the
disk midplane), i.e., a ``double-cone'' morphology. In this way, the front
and back sides of the disk with the same projected line-of-sight velocity are
spatially offset \citep[see also][]{degregorio13}. Here, a similar toy model
is used; however, to determine the line-of-sight velocity, the radius is
defined using spherical coordinates ($r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}$) rather than
cylindrical coordinates ($\rho=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$; \citealt{rosenfeld13}). For
small opening angles the two methods give similar results: the radii differ by
no more than 10\% for $\alpha \le 25\degree$. A flared disk with this emission
morphology has two possible orientations, with either the lower or the upper
face of the cone visible to the observer (see e.g., figure 3 in
\citealt{rosenfeld13}). Model first moment maps for a flared disk with the
same P.A and inclination as HD~100546 but with different opening angles
(20\degree, 45\degree, and 60\degree) are shown in Figure~\ref{figurea2} in the
Appendix.
The range of surface opening angles ($[0\degree,20\degree]$) is motivated by
previous thermo-chemical modelling of CO emission from HD~100546 which suggest
an opening angle $\alpha \approx 11\degree$ \citep[][]{bruderer12}. The
symmetry in the channel maps (Figure~\ref{figure3}) also suggests that the
emitting layer lies relatively close to the midplane. As before, a coarse
grid with a resolution of 5\degree~is initially run over the full parameter
space, followed by a zoomed in grid with a resolution of 1\degree.
Figures~\ref{figure4} and \ref{figure5} present the statistics and residuals
for the best-fit lower cone and upper cone of a flared disk.
Using metric (i), the best-fit upper cone model fits the data marginally better
(reproducing 65.0\% of the velocity field) than both the flat disk and the best-fit lower
cone model (62.1\% and 62.6\%, respectively, see Table~\ref{table1}).
The best-fit inclination, P.A., and opening angle are 36\degree,
145\degree, and 9\degree, respectively (see Table~\ref{table1}).
The opening angle of the $^{12}$CO-emitting surface agrees well with that
suggested by thermo-chemical models of HD~100546 \citep{bruderer12}.
The best-fit lower cone model has an inclination of 38\degree, a P.A.~of
142\degree, and an opening angle of 13\degree. The inclination of this model
lies closest to that derived from the continuum observations ($44\degree \pm
3\degree$). Despite resulting in a marginally worse fit to the data than the
upper cone model (see Table~\ref{table1}), a ``by-eye'' examination of the
residual map (bottom left panel of Figure~\ref{figure5}) shows that this
morphology best reproduces the velocity field in all quadrants of the outer
disk excepting the north-west quadrant for which the magnitude of the velocity
field is over-estimated. Comparing this residual map to both the channel map
(Figure~\ref{figure1}) and the eighth moment map (bottom right panel of
Figure~\ref{figure3}) shows that emission from this quadrant appears less
bright and exhibits a positional offset relative to that mirrored across the
minor axis of the disk. However, that the upper cone model fits the data best
using this metric is in agreement with recent VLT/SHERE images that confirm that
the the far side of the flared disk surface lies towards the north
\citep{garufi16}.
The global best-fit across all three models as determined by metric (ii), i.e.,
sum of the squares of the residuals normalised by the total number of pixels,
is a flat disk with an inclination of 37\degree~and a P.A.~of 142\degree. The
best-fit model selected by the smallest peak residual, i.e., metric (iii), is
also shared by all three models and is a flat disk with an inclination of
39\degree~(again in good agreement with the other two metrics); however, the
disk P.A which gives the smallest peak residual is 126\degree. The residual
histograms and maps for both of these models are shown in Figure~\ref{figure6}.
That the inner disk velocity structure is better fit with a shallower P.A.~than
the outer disk, highlights the presence of a twisted warp: this is investigated
in the subsequent section.

\subsection{A warped disk}
The residual maps displayed in Figures~\ref{figure5} and \ref{figure6}
reveal two features: (i) a rotating disk within $\approx$1\farcs0 of the source
position with an inclination angle approximately orthogonal to the line of sight, and
(ii) a shallower position angle on small scales ($\lesssim$1\farcs0) than on larger scales.
Both results point towards a twisted warp in the inner disk
\citep[see, e.g,][and references therein]{juhasz17}.
Because the residuals are of the order of the size of the synthesised beam,
a simple toy prescription for the warp is used.
The inner disk is modelled as a planar disk within a fixed radius which
possesses its own inclination and P.A, i.e., the inner disk is
misaligned relative to the outer disk.
This is similar to the approach used by \citet{rosenfeld14} to
model the kinematics of HD~142527.
Figure~\ref{figurea3} presents model first moment maps for a warped
disk for a range of inclinations and position angles; the
transition radius is fixed at 100~au, and the outer disk parameters
are given values appropriate for the HD~100546 disk.
The outer disk velocity structure is fixed to that of the best-fit upper cone model.
As mentioned in the previous section, recent VLT/SPHERE images of scattered light
from HD~100546 suggest that the far side of the (flared) disk lies towards the
north-east \citep{garufi16}.
This results in three additional fitting parameters only:
the inner disk inclination ([40\degree, 90\degree]), the inner disk P.A.~([40\degree, 100\degree]), and
a transition radius marking the boundary between the inner
and outer disks ([40, 120]~au).
Note that, for simplicity, we assume that the inner disk velocity structure is
described using the flat disk prescription (i.e., Equation~\ref{velocity}).
A coarse grid with a resolution of 10\degree~and 10~au is first run to
identify the parameter space containing the global best-fit, followed by
a finer grid over this zoomed-in region (with a resolution of 2\degree~and 2~au).
Figures~\ref{figure7} and \ref{figure8} present the statistics and residuals for
the best-fit warped disk, respectively. Metric (i) favours a model with an
inner disk that is almost ``edge-on'' ($i=80\degree$) to the line of sight,
almost orthogonal to the outer disk major axis (P.A.$= 60\degree$), and with a
transition radius of 90~au (see Figure~\ref{figure7} and Table~\ref{table2}).
These values are consistent with the morphology of the residuals of both the
flat and flared models (see Figures~\ref{figure5} and \ref{figure6}). The
magnitude of the peak residual of this model is significantly smaller than the
previous models selected using metric (i), $4 \delta v$ versus $7 \delta v$.
Metrics (ii) and (iii) select the same model (see Table~\ref{table2}) with
parameters similar to those using metric (i); an inclination of 84\degree, a
P.A. of 64\degree, and a transition radius of 100~au. Comparing the residual
histograms and maps for these two models (shown in Figure~\ref{figure8}),
highlights how a small change in inclination and/or position angle can
significantly reduce the magnitude of the peak residual. This latter model
results in a peak residual of only $2.4 \delta v$ and has the smallest
dispersion of residuals: 98\% of pixels match the data within $\pm
0.315$~\kms~and 100\% of pixels match within $\pm 0.525$ \kms.

\section{DISCUSSION}
\label{discussion}
The analysis of the kinematics of the HD~100546 protoplanetary disk presented
here has indicated the possible presence of a severely warped (misaligned)
inner disk within 100~au of the central star. The inner gas disk exhibits a
position angle that is almost orthogonal to that of the outer disk, and is
inclined almost edge-on to the line-of-sight. Figure~\ref{figure9} shows an
idealised model of the HD~100546 protoplanetary disk. The morphology of the
intermediate region between the inner and outer disks is not yet known, and so
is intentionally left blank in the cartoon. Higher spatial resolution data are
needed to reveal the intermediate region morphology and determine if the
proposed warp lies within a smaller radial region than suggested by these data.
Scattered light images taken with VLT/SPHERE and MagAO/GPI with a spatial
resolution of 0\farcs02 and 0\farcs01, respectively, reveal no evidence of a
severely misaligned dust disk beyond $\approx10$~au
\citep{garufi16,follette17}. However, both datasets do suggest the presence of
spirals in the inner disk within 50~au, and resolve the inner edge of the outer
dust disk traced in small grains (11-15~au, depending on wavelength). Further,
recent VLTI/PIONIER interferometric observations of HD~100546 reported in the
survey by \citet{lazareff17}, and which have a spatial resolution of order $\sim
1$~au, suggest that the very innermost dust disk has a similar position angle
(152\degree) and inclination (46\degree) as the outer disk traced in sub-mm
emission \citep[146\degree\ and 44\degree, respectively;][]{walsh14}. Hence,
if the non-Keplerian motion of the CO gas $\lesssim 100$~au is indeed caused by
an extreme warp, in light of these new observations it appears that the small
dust grains may have a different morphology than the gas in the inner disk. This is
discussed further below.
The presence of a disk warp in HD~100546 was originally proposed by
\citet{panic10} and based on asymmetries seen in the red and blue peaks of
single-dish spectra observed with APEX. The ALMA data presented here show no
such asymmetries in the peaks of the line profile (see Figure~\ref{figure10});
however, the mirrored line profile does highlight that the red and blue lobes
of emission have different shapes when integrated over the disk. This is
consistent with the morphology seen in the channel maps and described in
Section~\ref{almaimages}.

A warp in the inner disk could shadow the outer disk and lead to an asymmetric
temperature structure, because one side of the disk is more illuminated by the
central star than the opposite side (see figure 3 in \citealt{panic10}).
Because the $^{12}$CO emission is optically thick, it traces the gas
temperature, and thus any perturbations, in the emitting layer, usually the
disk atmosphere. The APEX $^{12}$CO $\mathrm{J}=3-2$ line profile from
\citet{panic10} shows a stronger blue peak. The dates of the observations
taken with APEX and ALMA are November 2008 \citep[][]{panic10} and November
2012 \citep[][]{walsh14}, respectively. There also exist multiple APEX
observations of the $^{12}$CO $\mathrm{J}=6-5$ transition. The line profile
presented in \citet{panic10} shows an even higher-contrast asymmetry in the
blue and red peaks than in the $\mathrm{J}=3-2$ line. More recent
observations taken between April and July 2014 and presented in \citet{kama16}
show a similar asymmetry; however, the ratio between the peaks is within the
flux density uncertainties of the observations (M.~Kama, priv.~commun.). Thus,
it is currently difficult to draw concrete conclusions on any periodicity in the
shapes of the line profiles. Conservatively assuming that the warp has
rotated $\approx 90\degree$ between acquirement of the original APEX data (with
the stronger blue peak) and the ALMA data (with no asymmetry in the line
profile) suggests a warp precession period of the order of $16$~yr.
The presence of a warp indicates the presence of a perturbing companion. A
massive ($\approx 20 M_\mathrm{J}$) planetary companion has been proposed to
reside at $\approx 10$~au in HD~100546. This is thought to be responsible for
clearing the inner cavity in both the dust and gas
\citep{mulders13,panic14,walsh14,pinilla15,wright15,garufi16}, as well as
inducing dynamical perturbations in [OI], OH, and CO line emission from the
inner region \citep{acke06,vanderplas09,brittain14}. In addition, a second
companion, which may still be in the act of formation, has been proposed to
reside at $\approx50$~au with a mass estimate of $\approx 15 M_\mathrm{J}$
\citep{quanz13,walsh14,quanz15,currie15,pinilla15}. However, as mentioned in
the introduction, the identification of this point source as a (proto)planet
has been disputed in a recent analysis of MagAO/GPI observations showing
close-to-zero proper motion of the point source on a 4.6~yr timescale at the
$2\sigma$ level \citep{rameau17}. Given that the presence of the outer ring of
(sub)mm dust emission is difficult to explain in the absence of an outer
companion \citep{walsh14,pinilla15}, we proceed in remainder of the discussion
with the assumption that this disk ``feature'' ideed arises due to a
(proto)planet.
The precession period of a warp induced by a perturbing companion can be
estimated using equation (2) in \citet{debes17}, used for the case of TW~Hya,
and which was originally derived by \citet{lai14}, \begin{equation} P \propto
(\mu_c \cos i_c)^{-1}(M_\ast)^{-1/2}(r_\mathrm{disk})^{-3/2}(a_c)^{3}
\end{equation} where $\mu_c$ is the mass ratio of the companion to the central
star (here $2.4 \mathrm{M}_\odot$), $i_c$ is the angle between the star-planet
orbital plane and disk plane (here 80\degree), $r_\mathrm{disk}$ is the radius
of the outer edge of the inner disk, and $a_c$ is the orbital radius of the
planet. Assuming that the protoplanet at 50~au is the perturbing body, and
setting $\mu_c = 0.006$, $r_\mathrm{disk} = $40~au, and $a_c=50$~au results in
a precession period of 1940~yr. Hence, it is unlikely that the outer companion
has perturbed the inner disk creating a warp that explains the change in shape
in line profile seen in the single-dish data and these ALMA data on a 4-year
baseline. Assuming instead that the inner companion is triggering the warp,
and that the inner disk cavity is not completely devoid of gas ($\mu_c =
0.008$, $r_\mathrm{disk} = $10~au, $i_c = 80$\degree, and $a_c=10$~au), leads
to a precession period of 111~yr. Keeping all other parameters constant, a
companion mass of $\approx 140 \mathrm{M}_\mathrm{J}$ ($\approx 0.1
\mathrm{M}_\odot$) is required for a warp precession period of $\approx 16$~yr.
There is no evidence that HD~100546 is in a binary system with an M-dwarf star.
Alternatively, a closer-in companion of only $\approx 4.5
\mathrm{M}_\mathrm{J}$ at 1~au and assuming an inner disk radius of 1~au, leads
to a similar precession period. However, these ALMA data suggest that the
non-Keplerian gas motion lies significantly beyond 1~au since the highest
velocity gas detected only probes down to a radius of 8-15~au depending upon
the assumed disk inclination. Longer baseline (in time) observations are
required to determine if any clear periodicity in the line profile shape
exists, and to then relate this more concretely to the precession period of an
inner disk warp.
Similar analyses have revealed warps in disks around other stars.
\citet{rosenfeld12} showed that the kinematic structure of TW Hya
could be reproduced using a parametric model of a disk warp
with a moderate inclination ($\approx~8\degree$) at a radius of 5~au.
\citet{facchini14} demonstrated the observed warp amplitude
could be induced by a misaligned close-in companion as massive as
$\approx 14 \mathrm{M}_\mathrm{J}$ orbiting within 4~au of the central star.
New scattered light data from HST/STIS, coupled with
archival data over a 17-year baseline, reveal an orbiting
azimuthal brightness asymmetry, with a
period of $\approx 16$~yr \citep{debes17}.
The authors argue that this is consistent with partial
shadowing of the outer disk by a misaligned inner
disk interior to 1~au and that is precessing due to
the presence of a roughly Jupiter-mass planetary companion.
Given that the ALMA data presented here
suggest non-Keplerian motion of the gas on spatial
scales $\gtrsim 10$~au, it is worth considering alternative
explanations to a warp.
HD~142527 is another protoplanetary disk in which
non-Keplerian motion traced by \ce{HCO+}
($\mathrm{J}=4-3$) and $^{12}$CO ($\mathrm{J}=6-5$)
emission has been observed \citep{casassus13,casassus15}.
HD~142527 is a transition disk which possesses the largest known
dust cavity in sub(mm) emission
\citep[$\approx 140$~au;][]{casassus13,fukagawa13}.
The observed gas motions were postulated to arise from fast
(near free-fall) radial flows across the cavity and
accretion onto the central star via a severely misaligned inner disk
\citep{casassus13,casassus15,marino15}.
\citet{marino15} propose that that inner and outer disk are misaligned
by 70\degree.
Compared with the misalignment parameters derived for HD~142527, those
derived here for HD~100546 appear not so extreme.
Also, ``hot-off-the-press'' ALMA observations of
\ce{HCO+} ($\mathrm{J}=3-2$) line emission from AA~Tau at an angular
resolution of 0\farcs2 ($\approx 30$~au), also show evidence of non-Keplerian motions due
to either a warp or fast radial inflow in the inner regions \citep{loomis17}.
Similar to here, this was revealed by a clear twist in the first
moment map of the molecular line emission.
However, \citet{rosenfeld14} conducted a theoretical study of
fast radial flows in transition disks and showed that the
derived velocity profile can also mimic that characteristic of an inner
disk warp.
To determine which physical mechanism is responsible for the
observed gas motions in HD~100546 will require data at sufficient
spatial and spectral resolution to resolve molecular emission within
the gas cavity i.e., within a diameter of $\approx 20$~au.
\section{CONCLUSION}
\label{conclusion}
The data and analyses shown here cleary demonstrate that
the kinematic structure of the disk around HD~100546 cannot be
described by a purely Keplerian velocity profile with a universal inclination
and position angle.
Given the current evidence for the presence of (at least)
one massive planetary companion orbiting within 10~au of the central
star, the presence of a disk warp, albeit with extreme parameters,
has been our favoured explanation.
Higher spatial resolution data are vital for corroborating
this warp hypothesis.
However, recent near-IR interferometric observations
suggest that the very inner dust disk is not misaligned
relative to the outer dust disk traced in (sub)mm emission.
This suggests that the gas and dust disks may have different morphologies
on radial scales of $\sim 1$ to 10's of au.
To determine whether the alternative explanation of fast radial flows could be
responsible for the observed kinematic structure of HD~100546, higher spatial
{\em and} spectral resolution data are required to resolve gas emission across
the inner dust ($\lesssim 25$~au) and gas ($\lesssim 10$~au) cavities
and explore any spatial association with the proposed planetary candidate(s).

\section{Model first moment maps}
Figure~\ref{figurea1} shows the first moment maps for a geometrically
flat protoplanetary disk for a range of disk inclinations.
Figure~\ref{figurea2} shows model first moment maps for a flared
disk with a fixed inclination for a range opening angles, $\alpha$, of the emitting
surface.
Figure~\ref{figurea3} shows model first moment maps for a warped inner disk
with a fixed transition radius of 100~au, and a range
of warp inclinations and position angles.
The outer disk parameters are those from the best-fit upper cone model
(i.e., an inclination of 36\degree, a P.A.~of 145\degree, and an opening angle
of 9\degree).

% Appendix
%The line-of-sight positional offset of the top cone relative to the disk midplane is given by
%\begin{equation}
%\delta{_\mathrm{top}}(x,y,z) = \frac{r_\mathrm{mid}\tan{\phi}}{1-\tan{\phi}\tan{i}\cos{\theta}},
%\end{equation}
%with a similar expression for the bottom cone,
%\begin{equation}
%\delta{_\mathrm{bot}}(x,y,z) = \frac{r_\mathrm{mid}\tan{\phi}}{1+\tan{\phi}\tan{i}\cos{\theta}},
%\end{equation}
%where $r_\mathrm{mid} = \sqrt{x^2+y^2+z_\mathrm{mid}^2}$, $z_\mathrm{mid} = y\tan{i}$, and
%$i$ and $\phi$ have been defined previously.
%The derivation of these expressions is given in the Appendix.
%The radius of the top and bottom cone is then determined using,
%\begin{equation}
%r_\mathrm{top/bot}(x,y,z) = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2 + (z_\mathrm{mid} + \delta_\mathrm{top/bot})^2}.
%\end{equation}
%The line-of-sight velocity can then be mapped back to the sky plane $(x',y')$ using
%Equation \ref{velocity} and $r_\mathrm{top/bot}$ in the place of $r$ for the top and
%bottom cones.
%Assuming that the minimum orbital period of the warp is the time span
%between the two APEX datasets ($\approx 6$ years), then the line
%profile will cycle between blue-symmetric-red-symmetric-blue on a timescale of
%$\approx 1.5$ years.
%This means that, at the time that the ALMA data were taken,
%the line profile was expected to be in its ``symmetric" phase, provided that
%the earliest APEX data was taken in the middle of, or towards the end
%of, the line profile's ``blue" phase.
%If the above holds, this suggests the presence of a planetary companion
%in a misaligned orbit at $\approx 3$~au.
