Line Observations of a Carbon - Chain - Rich Core L 492

چکیده
We report on molecular abundances and distributions in a starless dense core L492. We have found that the abundances of carbon-chain molecules such as CCS, C3S, HC3N, HC5N, and HC7N are comparable to those in chemically young dark cloud cores called ”carbon-chain–producing regions”, such as L1495B, L1521B, L1521E, and TMC-1. This is the first dark cloud core with extremely rich in carbon-chain-molecules that is found outside the Taurus region. In addition, the deuterium fractionation ratios of DNC/HNC and DCO/HCO are also comparable to those in carbon-chain–producing regions, being significantly lower than those in the evolved prestellar cores such as L1498 and L1544. On the other hand, the abundances of NH3 and N2H + are systematically higher than those in carbon-chain–producing regions. Our mapping observations reveal that the central hole of molecular distributions, which were reported for CCS and CS in evolved prestellar cores is not significant in L492, indicating that the depletion factor of molecules is not very high. Furthermore, L492 is dynamically more evolved than carbon-chain–producing regions, and the protostellar collapse has started like L1498 and L1544. Therefore, it is likely that the chemical and dynamical evolutionary stage of L492 is intermediate between carbon-chain–producing regions (L1495B, L1521B, L1521E, and TMC-1) and evolved prestellar cores (L1498 and L1544).

The Abundance of Atomic Carbon near the Ionization Fronts
We have observed the 492 GHz ground-state line of atomic carbon in the edge-on ionization fronts in M17 and .s1~0. y.te find that, contrary to expectation, the C I emission peaks farther into the molecular cloud from t~e Iomza~IO~ fro~t than does the CO. In fact the peak C I abundance in M17 occurs more than 60 mag of visual extmctton mto the cloud from the ionization front. Calculations of the...

Metabolism of the alpha-1,1 glucose disaccharide, trehalose, is indispensable in plants. In the Murashigeand Skoog (MS) medium, trehalose inhibits plant growth and allocation of carbon to roots. A suppressorof trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) mediated growth arrest, GR-RBP2, is characterized in more detail.Phylogenetic analysis revealed that GR-RBP2 is a protein of likely prokaryot...

We present the first comprehensive study on physical and chemical properties of quiescent starless cores L1495B and L1521B, which are known to be rich in carbon-chain molecules like the cyanopolyyne peak of TMC-1 and L1521E. We have detected radio spectral lines of various carbon-chain molecules such as CCS, C3S, C4H, HC3N, and HC5N. On the other hand, the NH3 lines are weak and the N2H + lines...
