Molecular abundance ratios as a tracer of accelerated collapse in regions of high mass star formation?
ArXiv astro-ph/0410653 (2004)
Abstract:
Recent observations suggest that the behaviour of tracer species such as N_2H+ and CS is significantly different in regions of high and low mass star formation. In the latter, N_2H+ is a good tracer of mass, while CS is not. Observations show the reverse to be true in high-mass star formation regions. We use a computational chemical model to show that the abundances of these and other species may be significantly altered by a period of accelerated collapse in high mass star forming regions. We suggest these results provide a potential explanation of the observations, and make predictions for the behaviour of other species.The 2003 radio outburst of a new X-ray transient: XTE J1720-318
