Oscillations in the stable starless core Barnard 68
New molecular line observations of the Bok globule Barnard 68 in HCO + irrefutably confirm the complex pattern of red and blue asymmetric line profiles seen across the face of the cloud in previous observations of CS. The new observations thus strengthen the previous interpretation that Barnard 68 is undergoing peculiar oscillations. Furthermore, the physical chemistry of B68 indicates that the...
متن کاملThe Inevitable Future of the Starless Core Barnard 68
Dense, small molecular cloud cores have been identified as the direct progenitors of stars. One of the best studied examples is Barnard 68 which is considered a prototype stable, spherical gas core, confined by a diffuse high-pressure environment. Observations of its radial density structure however indicate that Barnard 68 should be gravitationally unstable and collapsing which appears to be i...
متن کاملUsing Chemistry to Unveil the Kinematics of Starless Cores : Complex Radial Motions in Barnard 68
We present observations of CO, CO, HCO, HCO, DCO and N2H + line emission towards the Barnard 68 starless core. The line profiles are interpreted using a chemical network coupled with a radiative transfer code in order to reconstruct the radial velocity profile of the core. Our observations and modeling indicate the presence of complex radial motions, with the inward motions in the outer layers ...
متن کاملOscillations of starless cores
If the split, asymmetric molecular spectral line profiles that are seen in many starless cores are interpreted as indicative of global collapse or expansion of the core then one possible implication is that most starless cores have short lifetimes on the order of the collapse or sound crossing time scale. An alternative interpretation of the line profiles as indicative of perturbations on an un...
متن کاملAn Accreting Starless Core
We have mapped the starless core TMC-1C in a variety of molecular lines with the IRAM 30m telescope. High density tracers show clear signs of self-absorption and sub-sonic infall asymmetries are present in N 2 H + (1–0) and DCO + (2–1) lines. The inward velocity profile in N 2 H + (1–0) is extended over a region of about 7,000 AU in radius around the dust continuum peak, which is the most exten...
