The study of high-mass star formation objects demonstrates valuable details about the chemical composition and massive star formation process. We present the spectroscopic detection of the rotational molecular emission lines of complex nitrile species ethyl cyanide in the high mass star-forming region IRAS 18566+0408 using the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA). We detected a total of thirteen rotational emission lines of ethyl cyanide including their different $^{13}C$ isotopologue between the frequency range of $ u$ = 86$-$111 GHz with ALMA band 3 observation. Using LTE model, the range of statistical column density of ethyl cyanide is found (3$-$4)$times$10$^{15}$ cm$^{-2}$ with rotational temperature $T_{rot}$ = 90 K. The abundance of ethyl cyanide in IRAS 18566+0408 relative to the H$_{2}$ is estimated between the range of (1.0$-$1.4)$times$10$^{-8}$ where $N$(H$_{2}$) = 2.9$times$10$^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$.

We present Submillimeter Array (SMA) observations toward the high-mass star-forming region IRAS 18566+0408. Observations at 1.3 mm continuum and in several molecular line transitions were performed in the compact (2.4 angular resolution) and very-ext
ended (~0.4 angular resolution) configurations. The continuum emission from the compact configuration shows a dust core of 150 Msun, while the very-extended configuration reveals a dense (2.6 x 10^7 cm^-3) and compact (~4,000 AU) condensation of 8 Msun. We detect 31 molecular transitions from 14 species including CO isotopologues, SO, CH3OH, OCS, and CH3CN. Using the different k-ladders of the CH3CN line, we derive a rotational temperature at the location of the continuum peak of 240 K. The 12CO(2-1), 13CO(2-1), and SO(6_5-5_4) lines reveal a molecular outflow at PA ~135^o centered at the continuum peak. The extended 12CO(2-1) emission has been recovered with the IRAM 30 m telescope observations. Using the combined data set, we derive an outflow mass of 16.8 Msun. The chemically rich spectrum and the high rotational temperature confirm that IRAS 18566+0408 is harboring a hot molecular core. We find no clear velocity gradient that could suggest the presence of a rotational disk-like structure, even at the high resolution observations obtained with the very-extended configuration.
We report the first spectroscopic detection of ethyl cyanide (C$_2$H$_5$CN) in Titans atmosphere, obtained using spectrally and spatially resolved observations of multiple emission lines with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter array (ALMA). T
he presence of C$_2$H$_5$CN in Titans ionosphere was previously inferred from Cassini ion mass spectrometry measurements of C$_2$H$_5$CNH$^+$. Here we report the detection of 27 rotational lines from C$_2$H$_5$CN (in 19 separate emission features detected at $>3sigma$ confidence), in the frequency range 222-241 GHz. Simultaneous detections of multiple emission lines from HC$_3$N, CH$_3$CN and CH$_3$CCH were also obtained. In contrast to HC$_3$N, CH$_3$CN and CH$_3$CCH, which peak in Titans northern (spring) hemisphere, the emission from C$_2$H$_5$CN is found to be concentrated in the southern (autumn) hemisphere, suggesting a distinctly different chemistry for this species, consistent with a relatively short chemical lifetime for C$_2$H$_5$CN. Radiative transfer models show that most of the C$_2$H$_5$CN is concentrated at altitudes 300-600 km, suggesting production predominantly in the mesosphere and above. Vertical column densities are found to be in the range (2-5)$times10^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$.
Stellar feedback from high-mass stars (e.g., H{sc ii} regions) can strongly influence the surrounding interstellar medium and regulate star formation. Our new ALMA observations reveal sequential high-mass star formation taking place within one sub-vi
rial filamentary clump (the G9.62 clump) in the G9.62+0.19 complex. The 12 dense cores (MM 1-12) detected by ALMA are at very different evolutionary stages, from starless core phase to UC H{sc ii} region phase. Three dense cores (MM6, MM7/G, MM8/F) are associated with outflows. The mass-velocity diagrams of outflows associated with MM7/G and MM8/F can be well fitted with broken power laws. The mass-velocity diagram of SiO outflow associated with MM8/F breaks much earlier than other outflow tracers (e.g., CO, SO, CS, HCN), suggesting that SiO traces newly shocked gas, while the other molecular lines (e.g., CO, SO, CS, HCN) mainly trace the ambient gas continuously entrained by outflow jets. Five cores (MM1, MM3, MM5, MM9, MM10) are massive starless core candidates whose masses are estimated to be larger than 25 M$_{sun}$, assuming a dust temperature of $leq$ 20 K. The shocks from the expanding H{sc ii} regions (B & C) to the west may have great impact on the G9.62 clump through compressing it into a filament and inducing core collapse successively, leading to sequential star formation. Our findings suggest that stellar feedback from H{sc ii} regions may enhance the star formation efficiency and suppress the low-mass star formation in adjacent pre-existing massive clumps.
In this paper we present the results of a mid infrared study of G49.5-0.4, or W51A, part of the massive starbirth complex W51. Combining public data from the $Spitzer$ IRAC camera, and Gemini mid infrared camera T-ReCS at 7.73, 9.69, 12.33 and 24.56
micron, with spatial resolution of $sim$0.5arcsec, we have identified the mid infrared counterparts of 8 ultracompact HII regions, showing that two radio sources are deeply embedded in molecular clouds and another is a cloud of ionized gas. From the T-ReCS data we have unveiled the central core of W51 region, revealing massive young stellar candidates. We modeled the spectral energy distribution of the detected sources suggesting the embedded objects are sources with spectral types ranging from B3 to O5, but the majority of the fits indicate stellar objects with B1 spectral types. We also present an extinction map of IRS~2, showing that a region with lower extinction corresponds to the region where a proposed jet of gas has impacted the foreground cloud. From this map, we also derived the total extinction towards the enigmatic source IRS~2E, which amounts to $sim$60 magnitudes in the $V$ band. We calculated the color temperature due to thermal emission of the circumstellar dust of the detected sources; the temperatures are in the interval of $sim$100 -- 150 K, which corresponds to the emission of dust located at 0.1 pc from the central source. Finally, we show a possible mid infrared counterpart of a detected source at mm wavelengths that was found by cite{zap08,zap09} to be a massive young stellar object undergoing a high accretion rate.
The TOPGot project studies a sample of 86 high-mass star-forming regions in different evolutionary stages from starless cores to ultra compact HII regions. The aim of the survey is to analyze different molecular species in a statistically significant
sample to study the chemical evolution in high-mass star-forming regions, and identify chemical tracers of the different phases. The sources have been observed with the IRAM 30m telescope in different spectral windows at 1, 2, and 3 mm. In this first paper, we present the sample and analyze the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the TOPGot sources to derive physical parameters. We use the MADCUBA software to analyze the emission of methyl cyanide (CH$_3$CN), a well-known tracer of high-mass star formation. The emission of the $rm{CH_3CN(5_{K}-4_{K})}$ K-transitions has been detected towards 73 sources (85% of the sample), with 12 non-detections and one source not observed in the frequency range of $rm{CH_3CN(5_{K}-4_{K})}$. The emission of CH$_3$CN has been detected towards all evolutionary stages, with the mean abundances showing a clear increase of an order of magnitude from high-mass starless-cores to later evolutionary stages. We found a conservative abundance upper limit for high-mass starless cores of $X_{rm CH_3CN}<4.0times10^{-11}$, and a range in abundance of $4.0times10^{-11}<X_{rm CH_3CN}<7.0times10^{-11}$ for those sources that are likely high-mass starless cores or very early high-mass protostellar objects. In fact, in this range of abundance we have identified five sources previously not classified as being in a very early evolutionary stage. The abundance of $rm{CH_3CN}$ can thus be used to identify high-mass star-forming regions in early phases of star-formation.
