摘要:

我们已经进行了新的实验室实验,使我们有可能获得的估计量的碳链氧化物(即C3 O2,C2 O和C3 O)后,照射(200 keV质子)的纯CO冰,在16 K。对实验室数据的分析表明,在致密的分子云中,当发生高CO贫化时,离子辐照冰粒地幔后,可以形成相对于气相一氧化碳高达2- 3 × 10 ^-3的碳链氧化物。然后,我们已经搜索了气相C2 O和C3 O对十个低质量的年轻恒星的对象。其中,我们已经检测到的C3 O线在38486.891兆赫对低质量的原恒星埃利亚斯18。根据实验结果,我们认为在致密的分子云中,宇宙离子辐照富CO的冰幔后,在固相中形成气相碳链氧化物,冰幔解吸后释放到气相中。我们预计,阿塔卡马大型毫米波阵列(ALMA),由于其高灵敏度和分辨率,将增加在密集的分子云中检测到的碳链氧化物的数量。

英文摘要:

We have performed new laboratory experiments which gave us the possibility to obtain an estimate of the amount of carbon chain oxides (namely C3O2, C2O, and C3O) formed after irradiation (with 200 keV protons) of pure CO ice, at 16 K. The analysis of laboratory data indicates that in dense molecular clouds, when high CO depletion occurs, an amount of carbon chain oxides as high as 2-3x10^-3 with respect to gas phase carbon monoxide can be formed after ion irradiation of icy grain mantles. Then we have searched for gas phase C2O and C3O towards ten low-mass young stellar objects. Among these we have detected the C3O line at 38486.891 MHz towards the low-mass protostar Elias 18. On the basis of the laboratory results we suggest that in dense molecular clouds gas phase carbon chain oxides are formed in the solid phase after cosmic ion irradiation of CO-rich icy mantles and released to the gas phase after desorption of icy mantles. We expect that the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), thanks to its high sensitivity and resolution, will increase the number of carbon chain oxides detected in dense molecular clouds.
