L483: Warm Carbon-chain Chemistry Source Harboring Hot Corino Activity

TLDR
In this article, an infalling-rotating envelope is traced by the CS line, while a very compact component with a broad velocity width is observed for the CS, SO, HNCO, NH$_2$CHO, and HCOOCH$_3$ lines.
Abstract
The Class 0 protostar, L483, has been observed in various molecular lines in the 1.2 mm band at a sub-arcsecond resolution with ALMA. An infalling-rotating envelope is traced by the CS line, while a very compact component with a broad velocity width is observed for the CS, SO, HNCO, NH$_2$CHO, and HCOOCH$_3$ lines. Although this source is regarded as the warm carbon-chain chemistry (WCCC) candidate source at a 1000 au scale, complex organic molecules characteristic of hot corinos such as NH$_2$CHO and HCOOCH$_3$ are detected in the vicinity of the protostar. Thus, both hot corino chemistry and WCCC are seen in L483. Although such a mixed chemical character source has been recognized as an intermediate source in previous single-dish observations, we here report the first spatially-resolved detection. A kinematic structure of the infalling-rotating envelope is roughly explained by a simple ballistic model with the protostellar mass of 0.1--0.2 $M_\odot$ and the radius of the centrifugal barrier (a half of the centrifugal radius) of 30--200 au, assuming the inclination angle of 80\degr\ (0\degr\ for a face-on). The broad line emission observed in the above molecules most likely comes from the disk component inside the centrifugal barrier. Thus, a drastic chemical change is seen around the centrifugal barrier.

Tracing the mass during low-mass star formation I: submillimeter continuum observations and simple analysis

Abstract: We have obtained 850 and 450 μm continuum maps of 21 low-mass cores with SEDs ranging from pre-protostellar to Class I (18 K < Tbol < 370 K), using SCUBA at the JCMT. In this paper we present the maps, radial intensity profiles, and photometry. Pre-protostellar cores do not have power-law intensity profiles, whereas the intensity profiles of Class 0 and Class I sources can be fitted with power laws over a large range of radii. A substantial number of sources have companion sources within a few arcminutes (two out of five pre-protostellar cores, nine out of 16 Class 0/I sources). The mean separation between sources is 10,800 AU. The median separation is 18,000 AU including sources without companions as a lower limit. The mean value of the spectral index between 450 and 850 μm is 2.8 ± 0.4, with pre-protostellar cores having slightly lower spectral indices (2.5 ± 0.4). The mean mass of the sample, based on the dust emission in a 120'' aperture, is 1.1 ± 0.9 M☉. For the sources fitted by power-law intensity distributions (Iν(b)/Iν(0) = (b/b0)m), the mean value of m is 1.52 ± 0.45 for Class 0 and I sources at 850 μm and 1.44 ± 0.25 at 450 μm. Based on a simple analysis, assuming the emission is in the Rayleigh-Jeans limit and that Td(r) ∝ r-0.4, these values of m translate into power-law density distributions (n ∝ r-p) with p ~ 2.1. However, we show that this result may be changed by more careful consideration of effects such as beam size and shape, finite outer radii, more realistic Td(r), and failure of the Rayleigh-Jeans approximation.
