Carbon Chain Chemistry in Hot-core Regions around Three Massive Young Stellar Objects Associated with 6.7 GHz Methanol Masers
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2021
We have carried out observations of CCH (N = 1 - 0), CH3CN (J = 5 - 4), and three C-13 isotopologues of HC3N (J = 10 - 9) toward three massive young stellar objects (MYSOs), G12.89+0.49, G16.86-2.16, and G28.28-0.36, with the Nobeyama 45 m radio telescope. Combined with previous results on HC5N, the column density ratios of N(CCH)/N(HC5N), hereafter the CCH/HC5N ratios, in the MYSOs are derived to be similar to 15. This value is lower than that in a low-mass warm carbon chain chemistry (WCCC) source by more than one order of magnitude. We compare the observed CCH/HC5N ratios with hot-core model calculations. The observed ratios in the MYSOs can be best reproduced by models when the gas temperature is similar to 85 K, which is higher than in L1527, a low-mass WCCC source (similar to 35 K). These results suggest that carbon-chain molecules detected around the MYSOs exist at least partially in higher temperature regions than those in low-mass WCCC sources. There is no significant difference in column density among the three C-13 isotopologues of HC3N in G12.89+0.49 and G16.86-2.16, while (HCCCN)-C-13 is more abundant than the others in G28.28-0.36. We discuss carbon-chain chemistry around the three MYSOs based on the CCH/HC5N ratio and the C-13 isotopic fractionation of HC3N.
