Context. HD 141569 is a pre-main sequence star with a disc uniquely placed between protoplanetary and debris discs, similar to the older "hybrid" type discs.
Aims. This work aims to place the mass and spatial structure of the disc midplane in the context of the debris, hybrid and protoplanetary discs.
Methods. We observed HD 141569 with ALMA in 1.3mm continuum and ¹³CO (2-1). This is the first detection and image of the optically thin gas emission from the midplane of this disc.
Results. In continuum emission, we detect a combination of an unresolved central peak and a ring of millimetre emission at 220±10au, slightly interior to one of the rings discovered in scattered light. The minimum dust mass of the ring is 0.13±0.02M_⊕ while the unresolved millimetre peak at the stellar location is predominantly thermal emission due to a minimum of 1.2±0.2M_⊕ of dust. ¹³CO is distributed asymmetrically around the stellar position with a peak at 1"1 distance and a PA of -33°. The gas is detected as far as 220±10au, a radial separation the same as that of the mm ring. Assuming optically thin emission and standard ISM abundances, we used our ¹³CO data to derive the gas mass in the disc of (6.0±0.9)x10^–4M_☉. Comparison to published ¹²CO data shows that ¹²CO is optically thick, explaining why estimates based on ¹²CO underestimated the gas mass.
