摘要:

利用亚毫米波望远镜(SMT)和亚毫米波天线阵(SMA)观测了红外暗云(IRDC)G28.34+0.06中N2 H+和N2 D+的J=3-2跃迁,研究了氘分馏随演化阶段的变化趋势。一个可理解的增强约3个数量级的氘分馏超过当地的星际D/H比观察到在所有的来源。特别是,我们在G28.34+0.06中的大质量恒星形成核心的样本显示出N(N2 D+)/N(N2 H+)比率随演化阶段的3倍以上的适度下降趋势,这种行为类似于以前在低质量原恒星核心中发现的行为。这表明,一个可能的扩展使用的N(N2 D+)/N(N2 H+)的比例作为一个进化示踪剂,以高质量的原恒星候选人。在最演化的核MM 1中,N2 H+(3-2)发射似乎避开了由尘埃连续发射和从颗粒地幔升华的13 CO发射所追踪的温暖区域,表明气相CO的瞬间释放。

英文摘要:

We have observed the J=3-2 transition of N2H+ and N2D+ to investigate the trend of deuterium fractionation with evolutionary stage in three selected regions in the Infrared Dark Cloud (IRDC) G28.34+0.06 with the Submillimeter Telescope (SMT) and the Submillimeter Array (SMA). A comprehensible enhancement of roughly 3 orders of magnitude in deuterium fractionation over the local interstellar D/H ratio is observed in all sources. In particular, our sample of massive star-forming cores in G28.34+0.06 shows a moderate decreasing trend over a factor of 3 in the N(N2D+)/N(N2H+) ratio with evolutionary stage, a behavior resembling what previously found in low-mass protostellar cores. This suggests a possible extension for the use of the N(N2D+)/N(N2H+) ratio as an evolutionary tracer to high-mass protostellar candidates. In the most evolved core, MM1, the N2H+ (3-2) emission appears to avoid the warm region traced by dust continuum emission and emission of 13CO sublimated from grain mantles, indicating an instant release of gas-phase CO. The majority of the N2H+ and N2D+ emission is associated with extended structures larger than 8" (~ 0.2 pc).
