Interferometric Observations of Cyanopolyynes toward the G28.28-0.36 High-Mass Star-Forming Region


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We have carried out interferometric observations of cyanopolyynes, HC$_{3}$N, HC$_{5}$N, and HC$_{7}$N, in the 36 GHz band toward the G28.28$-$0.36 high-mass star-forming region using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) Ka-band receiver. The spatial distributions of HC$_{3}$N and HC$_{5}$N are obtained. HC$_{5}$N emission is coincident with a 450 $mu$m dust continuum emission and this clump with a diameter of $sim 0.2$ pc is located at the east position from the 6.7 GHz methanol maser by $sim 0.15$ pc. HC$_{7}$N is tentatively detected toward the clump. The HC$_{3}$N : HC$_{5}$N : HC$_{7}$N column density ratios are estimated at 1.0 : $sim 0.3$ : $sim 0.2$ at an HC$_{7}$N peak position. We discuss possible natures of the 450 $mu$m continuum clump associated with the cyanopolyynes. The 450 $mu$m continuum clump seems to contain deeply embedded low- or intermediate-mass protostellar cores, and the most possible formation mechanism of the cyanopolyynes is the warm carbon chain chemistry (WCCC) mechanism. In addition, HC$_{3}$N and compact HC$_{5}$N emission is detected at the edge of the 4.5 $mu$m emission, which possibly implies that such emission is the shock origin.
