ALMA ACA and Nobeyama observations of two Orion cores in deuterated molecular lines

Published 27 Apr 2020 in astro-ph.GA | (2004.12548v1)

Abstract: We mapped two molecular cloud cores in the Orion A cloud with the ALMA ACA 7-m Array and with the Nobeyama 45-m radio telescope. These cores have bright N2_2D<sup>+<sup>+ emission in single-pointing observations with the Nobeyama 45-m radio telescope, have relatively high deuterium fraction, and are thought to be close to the onset of star formation. One is a star-forming core, and the other is starless. These cores are located along filaments observed in N2_2H<sup>+<sup>+, and show narrow linewidths of 0.41 km s<sup>−1<sup>{-1} and 0.45 km s<sup>−1<sup>{-1} in N2_2D<sup>+<sup>+, respectively, with the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. Both cores were detected with the ALMA ACA 7m Array in the continuum and molecular lines at Band 6. The starless core G211 shows clumpy structure with several sub-cores, which in turn show chemical differences. Also, the sub-cores in G211 have internal motions that are almost purely thermal. The starless sub-core G211D, in particular, shows a hint of the inverse P Cygni profile, suggesting infall motion. The star-forming core G210 shows an interesting spatial feature of two N2_2D<sup>+<sup>+ peaks of similar intensity and radial velocity located symmetrically with respect to the single dust continuum peak. One interpretation is that the two N2_2D<sup>+<sup>+ peaks represent an edge-on pseudo-disk. The CO outflow lobes, however, are not directed perpendicular to the line connecting both N2_2D<sup>+<sup>+ peaks.
