A statistical study towards the high-mass BGPS clumps with the MALT90 survey
Abstract
In this work, we perform a statistical investigation towards 50 high-mass clumps using the data from the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey (BGPS) and the Millimetre Astronomy Legacy Team 90-GHz survey (MALT90). Eleven dense molecular lines (NH(1-0), HNC(1-0), HCO(1-0), HCN(1-0), HNC(1-0), HCO(1-0), CH(1-0), HCN(10-9), SiO(2-1), CS(2-1) and HNCO are detected. NH and HNC are shown to be good tracers for clumps in virous evolutionary stages since they are detected in all the fields. And the detection rates of N-bearing molecules decrease as the clumps evolve, but those of O-bearing species increase with evolution. Furthermore, the abundance ratios [NH]/[HCO] and Log([HCN]/[HCO]) decline with Log([HCO]) as two linear functions, respectively. This suggests the transformation of NH and HCN to HCO as the clumps evolve. We also find that CH is the most abundant molecule with an order of . Besides, three new infall candidates G010.214-00.324, G011.121-00.128, and G012.215-00.118(a) are discovered to have large-scaled infall motions and infall rates in the magnitude of M yr.
