We present here a systematic search for cyanopolyynes in the shock region L1157-B1 and its associated protostar L1157-mm in the framework of the Large Program "Astrochemical Surveys At IRAM" (ASAI), dedicated to chemical surveys of solar-type star forming regions with the IRAM 30m telescope. Observations of the millimeter windows between 72 and 272 GHz permitted the detection of HC$_3$N and its $^{13}$C isotopologues, and HC$_5$N (for the first time in a protostellar shock region). In the shock, analysis of the line profiles shows that the emission arises from the outflow cavities associated with L1157-B1 and L1157-B2. Molecular abundances and excitation conditions were obtained from analysis of the Spectral Line Energy Distributions under the assumption of Local Thermodynamical Equilibrium or using a radiative transfer code in the Large Velocity Gradient approximation. Towards L1157mm, the HC$_3$N emission arises from the cold envelope ($T_{rot}=10$ K) and a higher-excitation region ($T_{rot}$= $31$ K) of smaller extent around the protostar. We did not find any evidence of $^{13}$C or D fractionation enrichment towards L1157-B1. We obtain a relative abundance ratio HC$_3$N/HC$_5$N of 3.3 in the shocked gas. We find an increase by a factor of 30 of the HC$_3$N abundance between the envelope of L1157-mm and the shock region itself. Altogether, these results are consistent with a scenario in which the bulk of HC$_3$N was produced by means of gas phase reactions in the passage of the shock. This scenario is supported by the predictions of a parametric shock code coupled with the chemical model UCL_CHEM.

Plateau de Bure High-z Blue-Sequence Survey 2 (PHIBSS2): Search for Secondary Sources, CO Luminosity Functions in the Field, and the Evolution of Molecular Gas Density through Cosmic Time
我们报告了在第二次Plateau de Bure高z蓝色序列巡天(PHIBSS 2)中,以z ~ 1-2处的CO(2-1)、CO(3-2)和CO(6-5)为目标,在110个立方体中寻找CO排放偶然源的结果。PHIBSS 2观测是IRAM Plateau de Bure干涉仪为期4年的遗留计划的一部分,旨在从分子气体库的角度研究早期星系演化。我们提出了一个目录的67个候选人从这次搜索的次要来源,与45的110个数据立方体显示的来源,除了主要目标,似乎是外地检测,无关的中央来源。这个星表包括红移、线宽、通量,以及基于它们的假阳性概率对它们的可靠性的估计。我们在3D-HST/CANDELS目录中搜索二次CO探测,并初步发现其中约64%具有光学对应物,我们使用它们来限制它们的红移。最后,我们使用我们的候选CO检测目录,以获得CO(2-1),CO(3-2),CO(4-3),CO(5-4)和CO(6-5)的光度函数在一个范围内的红移,以及分子气体的质量密度演化。尽管不同的方法,这些结果是在非常好的协议与以前的观测约束来自盲搜索深领域。它们提供了一个可以通过有针对性的观测进行的“深场”科学类型的例子。
