复杂有机分子在冷分子云和原恒星温暖的内部区域均被探测到。它们最终是否会被原恒星和行星继承,还是其化学过程会被原位反应重置,目前仍不清楚。理解这些分子的解吸机制对于追踪其化学演化至关重要。作为 ALMA 大型项目“原恒星中的复杂有机分子:ALMA 光谱巡天(COMPASS)”的一部分,我们研究了 BHR71-IRS1 热核(hot corino)之外的 CH$_3$OH 发射。我们在 BHR71-IRS1 周围识别出延展的 CH$_3$OH 发射。通过主成分分析,我们评估了特征发射结构。在局部热力学平衡(LTE)假设下,通过转动图和光谱建模分析,我们推导了其谱线发射气体的物理性质。总共探测到 26 条延展的 CH$_3$OH 谱线。这些发射线分布在(1)X 形腔壁、(2)南北激波结节,以及(3)东和东南分量中。腔壁的激发温度约为 25 K,柱密度约为 10$^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$,而结节表现出相对较高的激发温度(70$-$120 K)和柱密度(10$^{14}-10^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$)。在 LTE 条件下,东和东南分量的物理性质未能得到很好的约束。通过将物理参数与模型预测进行比较,我们评估了可能的解吸机制。腔壁中较低的激发温度和较窄的谱线宽度支持由 IRS1 远紫外辐射驱动的反应性解吸情景。相反,具有较高激发温度和柱密度的结节则支持由 C 型激波引起的尘埃溅射情景。
英文摘要
Complex organic molecules are detected in both cold molecular clouds and the warm inner regions of protostars. Whether they are eventually inherited by protostars and planets or whether their chemistry is reset by in situ reactions remains unclear. Understanding the desorption mechanisms of these molecules is essential for tracing their chemical evolution. As part of the ALMA Large Program Complex Organic Molecules in Protostars with ALMA Spectral Surveys (COMPASS), we investigate the CH$_3$OH emission that extends beyond the hot corino of BHR71-IRS1. We identified extended CH$_3$OH emission around BHR71-IRS1. We assessed characteristic emission structures by applying a principal component analysis. The physical properties of their line-emitting gas were derived under the local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) assumption through both rotational diagram and spectral modeling analyses. In total, 26 extended CH$_3$OH lines have been detected. These emission lines are distributed across (1) X-shaped cavity walls, (2) northern and southern shocked knots, and (3) eastern and southeastern components. The cavity walls exhibit excitation temperatures of $\sim$ 25~K and column densities of $\sim$ 10$^{14}$~cm$^{-2}$, while the knots show relatively higher excitation temperatures (70$-$120~K) and column densities ($10^{14}-10^{16}$~cm$^{-2}$). The physical properties of eastern and southeastern components are not well constrained under LTE conditions. Plausible desorption mechanisms are evaluated by comparing the physical parameters with model predictions. The low excitation temperatures and narrow line widths in the cavity walls favor a reactive desorption scenario driven by far-ultraviolet irradiation from IRS1. In contrast, the knots with higher excitation temperatures and column densities support the dust sputtering scenario induced by C-type shocks.
