Data pubblicazione: | 2018 | Rivista: | ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS | Numero: | 617 | Da pagina:: | A10 | Abstract: | Context. The unprecedented combination of high-sensitivity and high angular resolution provided by the ALMA interferometer allows us to shed light on the processes leading to the formation of the jet-disc system associated with a Sun-like mass protostar. <BR /> Aims: We investigate the physical and chemical properties of the gas associated with water and interstellar complex organic molecules around a protostar on solar system scales. <BR /> Methods: The HH 212 protostellar system, in Orion B, has been mapped, thanks to ALMA-Band 7 Cycle 1 and Cycle 4 observations of dueterated water (HDO) and acetaldehyde (CH<SUB>3</SUB>CHO) emission with an angular resolution down to 0.''15 (60 au). <BR /> Results: Many emission lines due to 14 CH<SUB>3</SUB>CHO and 1 HDO transitions at high excitation (E<SUB>u</SUB> between 163 and 335 K) have been imaged in the inner 70 au region. The local thermal equilibrium analysis of the CH<SUB>3</SUB>CHO emission leads to a temperature of 78 ± 14 K and a column density of 7.6 ± 3.2 × 10<SUP>15</SUP> cm<SUP>-2</SUP>, which, when N<SUB>H<SUB>2</SUB></SUB> of 10<SUP>24</SUP> cm<SUP>-2</SUP> is assumed, leads to an abundance of X<SUB>CH<SUB>3</SUB>CHO</SUB> ≃ 8 × 10<SUP>-9</SUP>. The large velocity gradient analysis of the HDO emission also places severe constraints on the volume density, n<SUB>H<SUB>2</SUB></SUB> ≥ 10<SUP>8</SUP> cm<SUP>-3</SUP>. The line profiles are 5-7 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> wide, and CH<SUB>3</SUB>CHO and HDO both show a ±2 km s<SUP>-1</SUP> velocity gradient over a size of 70 au (blue-shifted emission towards the north-west and red-shifted emission towards the south-east) along the disc equatorial plane, in agreement with what was found so far using other molecular tracers. <BR /> Conclusions: The kinematics of CH<SUB>3</SUB>CHO and HDO are consistent with the occurrence of a centrifugal barrier, that is, the infalling envelope-rotating disc ring, which is chemically enriched through low-velocity accretion shocks. The emission radius is 60 au, in good agreement with what was found before for another interstellar complex organic molecule such as NH<SUB>2</SUB>CHO. We support a vertical structure for the centrifugal barrier, suggesting the occurrence of two outflowing, expanding, and rotating rings above and below (of about 40-45 au) the optically thick equatorial disc plane. It is tempting to speculate that these rings could probe the basis of a wind launched from this region. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/28360 | URL: | https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/abs/2018/09/aa32765-18/aa32765-18.html | ISSN: | 0004-6361 | DOI: | 10.1051/0004-6361/201832765 | Bibcode ADS: | 2018A&A...617A..10C | Fulltext: | open |
