(Abridged) Aims & Methods. A two-dimensional, semi-analytical model is presented that follows, for the first time, the chemical evolution from a collapsing molecular cloud (a pre-stellar core) to a protostar and circumstellar disk. The model computes infall trajectories from any point in the cloud and tracks the radial and vertical motion of material in the viscously evolving disk. It includes a full time-dependent radiative transfer treatment of the dust temperature, which controls much of the chemistry. A small parameter grid is explored to understand the effects of the sound speed and the mass and rotation of the cloud. The freeze-out and evaporation of carbon monoxide (CO) and water (H2O), as well as the potential for forming complex organic molecules in ices, are considered as important first steps to illustrate the full chemistry.
Results. Both species freeze out towards the centre before the collapse begins. Pure CO ice evaporates during the infall phase and re-adsorbs in those parts of the disk that cool below the CO desorption temperature of ~18 K. H2O remains solid almost everywhere during the infall and disk formation phases and evaporates within ~10 AU of the star. Mixed CO-H2O ices are important in keeping some solid CO above 18 K and in explaining the presence of CO in comets. Material that ends up in the planet- and comet-forming zones of the disk is predicted to spend enough time in a warm zone during the collapse to form first-generation complex organic species on the grains. The dynamical timescales in the hot inner envelope (hot core or hot corino) are too short for abundant formation of second-generation molecules by high-temperature gas-phase chemistry.
AKARI Mission Program: Excavating Mass Loss History in Extended Dust Shells of Evolved Stars (MLHES) I. Far-IR Photometry
作为AKARI红外天文卫星的一项任务计划,我们使用远红外探测器(FIS)仪器对144颗演化恒星的星周尘埃壳进行了远红外成像探测。通过这次调查,我们在65,90,140和160微米的四个FIS波段中提供了目标演化恒星周围大约10' x 40'或10' x 20'天空区域的远红外表面亮度分布。我们的目标是表征远红外表面亮度分布的冷尘埃成分在拱星尘埃壳,从中我们得到的冷尘埃颗粒的量低至20 K和经验建立的早期质量损失的历史。在本系列的第一部分中,我们介绍了该项目及其目标,描述了观测,数据简化和表面亮度校正过程,并展示了整个数据集以及综合测光测量的结果(即,中央源和拱星尘埃壳一起)。我们发现:(1)除了一个物体外,所有物体的远红外辐射都能在相应波段的空间分辨率约为30”- 50”处被探测到,(2)大约60 - 70%的目标源显示出一定的延伸,(3)以前未分辨的远红外附近物体现在被分辨为28个目标源左右,(4)尽管在计算星表通量密度时假定目标为点源,但对AKARI/FIS亮源星表中的条目进行测光测量的结果是合理的,(5)红外双色图将把目标源放置在一个大致线性的分布中,这个分布可能与星周尘埃壳层的年龄相关,并且可以潜在地用于识别哪些目标比其他目标更延伸。
