We present high angular resolution 1.1mm continuum and spectroscopic ALMA observations of the well-known massive proto-cluster Mon R 2 IRS 3.The continuum image at 1.1mm shows two components, IRS 3 A and IRS 3 B, that are separated by $sim$0.65$$. We estimate that IRS 3 A is responsible of $sim$80 % of the continuum flux, being the most massive component. We explore the chemistry of IRS 3 A based on the spectroscopic observations. In particular, we have detected intense lines of S-bearing species such as SO, SO$_2$, H$_2$CS and OCS, and of the Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) methyl formate (CH$_3$OCHO) and dimethyl ether (CH$_3$OCH$_3$). The integrated intensity maps of most species show a compact clump centered on IRS 3 A, except the emission of the COMs that is more intense towards the near-IR nebula located to the south of IRS 3 A, and HC$_3$N whose emission peak is located $sim$0.5$$ NE from IRS 3 A. The kinematical study suggests that the molecular emission is mainly coming from a rotating ring and/or an unresolved disk. Additional components are traced by the ro-vibrational HCN $ u_2$=1 3$rightarrow$2 line which is probing the inner disk/jet region, and the weak lines of CH$_3$OCHO, more likely arising from the walls of the cavity excavated by the molecular outflow. Based on SO$_2$ we derive a gas kinetic temperature of T$_k$$sim$ 170 K towards the IRS 3 A. The most abundant S-bearing species is SO$_2$ with an abundance of $sim$ 1.3$times$10$^{-7}$, and $chi$(SO/SO$_2$) $sim$ 0.29. Assuming the solar abundance, SO$_2$ accounts for $sim$1 % of the sulphur budget.

We present sensitive high angular resolution ($sim$ 0.1$$ -- 0.3$$) continuum ALMA (The Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array) observations of the archetypal hot core located in Orion-KL. The observations were made in five different spectral b ands (bands 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9) covering a very broad range of frequencies (149 -- 658 GHz). Apart of the well-know millimeter emitting objects located in this region (Orion Source I and BN), we report the first submillimeter detection of three compact continuum sources (ALMA 1-3) in the vicinities of the Orion-KL hot molecular core. These three continuum objects have spectral indices between 1.47 to 1.56, and brightness temperatures between 100 to 200 K at 658 GHz suggesting that we are seeing moderate optically thick dust emission with possible grain growth. However, as these objects are not associated with warm molecular gas, and some of them are farther out from the molecular core, we thus conclude that they cannot heat the molecular core. This result favours the hypothesis that the hot molecular core in Orion-KL core is heated externally.
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 present observations and analysis of the massive molecular outflow G331.512-0.103, obtained with ALMA band 7, continuing the work from Merello et al. (2013). Several lines were identified in the observed bandwidth, consisting of two groups: lines with narrow profiles, tracing the emission from the core ambient medium; and lines with broad velocity wings, tracing the outflow and shocked gas emission. The physical and chemical conditions, such as density, temperature, and fractional abundances are calculated. The ambient medium, or core, has a mean density of $sim 5times 10^6$ cm$^{-3}$ and a temperature of $sim 70$ K. The SiO and SO$_2$ emission trace the very dense and hot part of the shocked outflow, with values of $n_{rm H_2}sim10^9$ cm$^{-3}$ and $T sim 160-200$ K. The interpretation of the molecular emission suggests an expanding cavity geometry powered by stellar winds from a new-born UCHII region, alongside a massive and high-velocity molecular outflow. This scenario, along with the estimated physical conditions, is modeled using the 3D geometry radiative transfer code MOLLIE for the SiO(J$=8-7$) molecular line. The main features of the outflow and the expanding shell are reproduced by the model.
The kinematics and dynamics of stellar and substellar populations within young, still-forming clusters provides valuable information for constraining theories of formation mechanisms. Using Keck II NIRSPEC+AO data, we have measured radial velocities for 56 low-mass sources within 4 of the core of the ONC. We also re-measure radial velocities for 172 sources observed with SDSS/APOGEE. These data are combined with proper motions measured using HST ACS/WFPC2/WFC3IR and Keck II NIRC2, creating a sample of 136 sources with all three velocity components. The velocities measured are consistent with a normal distribution in all three components. We measure intrinsic velocity dispersions of ($sigma_{v_alpha}$, $sigma_{v_delta}$, $sigma_{v_r}$) = ($1.76pm0.12$, $2.16^{+0.14}_{-0.15}$, $2.54^{+0.16}_{-0.17}$) km s$^{-1}$. Our computed intrinsic velocity dispersion profiles are consistent with the dynamical equilibrium models from Da Rio et al. (2014) in the tangential direction, but not in the line of sight direction, possibly indicating that the core of the ONC is not yet virialized, and may require a non-spherical potential to explain the observed velocity dispersion profiles. We also observe a slight elongation along the north-south direction following the filament, which has been well studied in previous literature, and an elongation in the line of sight to tangential velocity direction. These 3-D kinematics, coupled with estimates of source masses, will allow future studies to determine the dominant formation mechanism, differentiating between models such as competitive accretion and turbulent fragmentation.
300 - Luis A. Zapata 2010
We present sensitive high angular resolution submillimeter and millimeter observations of torsionally/vibrationally highly excited lines of the CH$_3$OH, HC$_3$N, SO$_2$, and CH$_3$CN molecules and of the continuum emission at 870 and 1300 $mu$m from the Orion KL region, made with the Submillimeter Array (SMA). These observations plus recent SMA CO J=3-2 and J=2-1 imaging of the explosive flow originating in this region, which is related to the non-hierarchical disintegration of a massive young stellar system, suggest that the molecular Orion Hot Core is a pre-existing density enhancement heated from the outside by the explosive event -- unlike in other hot cores we do not find any self-luminous submillimeter, radio or infrared source embedded in the hot molecular gas. Indeed, we do not observe filamentary CO flow structures or fingers in the shadow of the hot core pointing away from the explosion center. The low-excitation CH$_3$CN emission shows the typical molecular heart-shaped structure, traditionally named the Hot Core, and is centered close to the dynamical origin of the explosion. The highest excitation CH$_3$CN lines are all arising from the northeast lobe of the heart-shaped structure, {it i. e.} from the densest and most highly obscured parts of the Extended Ridge. The torsionally excited CH$_3$OH and vibrationally excited HC$_3$N lines appear to form a shell around the strongest submillimeter continuum source. Surprisingly the kinematics of the Hot Core and Compact Ridge regions as traced by CH$_3$CN and HC$_3$N also reveal filament-like structures that emerge from the dynamical origin. All of these observations suggest the southeast and southwest sectors of the explosive flow to have impinged on a pre-existing very dense part of the Extended Ridge, thus creating the bright Orion KL Hot Core.
