      "content": "We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) line and\ncontinuum observations at 1.2mm with ~0.3\" resolution that uncover a\nKeplerian-like disk around the forming O-type star AFGL 4176. The continuum\nemission from the disk at 1.21 mm (source mm1) has a deconvolved size of\n870+/-110 AU x 330+/-300 AU and arises from a structure ~8 M_sun in mass,\ncalculated assuming a dust temperature of 190 K. The first-moment maps,\npixel-to-pixel line modeling, assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE),\nand position-velocity diagrams of the CH3CN J=13-12 K-line emission all show a\nvelocity gradient along the major axis of the source, coupled with an increase\nin velocity at small radii, consistent with Keplerian-like rotation. The LTE\nline modeling shows that where CH3CN J=13-12 is excited, the temperatures in\nthe disk range from ~70 to at least 300 K and that the H2 column density peaks\nat 2.8x10^24 cm^-2. In addition, we present Atacama Pathfinder Experiment\n(APEX) 12CO observations which show a large-scale outflow from AFGL 4176\nperpendicular to the major axis of mm1, supporting the disk interpretation.\nFinally, we present a radiative transfer model of a Keplerian disk surrounding\nan O7 star, with a disk mass and radius of 12 M_sun and 2000 AU, that\nreproduces the line and continuum data, further supporting our conclusion that\nour observations have uncovered a Keplerian disk around an O-type star.",
