Abstract

We have carried out observations in the 42-46 and 82-103 GHz bands with the Nobeyama 45-m radio telescope, and in the 338.2-339.2 and 348.45-349.45 GHz bands with the ASTE 10-m telescope toward three high-mass star-forming regions containing massive young stellar objects (MYSOs), G12.89+0.49, G16.86-2.16, and G28.28-0.36. We have detected HC3_{3}N including its 13^{13}C and D isotopologues, CH3_{3}OH, CH3_{3}CCH, and several complex organic molecules (COMs). Combining our previous results of HC5_{5}N in these sources, we compare the NN(HC5_{5}N)/NN(CH3_{3}OH) ratios in the three observed sources. The ratio in G28.28-0.36 is derived to be 0.0910.039+0.1090.091^{+0.109}_{-0.039}, which is higher than that in G12.89+0.49 by one order of magnitude, and that in G16.86-2.16 by a factor of 5\sim 5. We investigate the relationship between the NN(HC5_{5}N)/NN(CH3_{3}OH) ratio and the NN(CH3_{3}CCH)/NN(CH3_{3}OH) ratio. The relationships of the two column density ratios in G28.28-0.36 and G16.86-2.16 are similar to each other, while HC5_{5}N is less abundant when compared to CH3_{3}CCH in G12.89+0.49. These results imply a chemical diversity in the lukewarm (T2030T \sim 20-30 K) envelope around MYSOs. Besides, several spectral lines from complex organic molecules, including very-high-excitation energy lines, have been detected toward G12.89+0.49, while the line density is significantly low in G28.28-0.36. These results suggest that organic-poor MYSOs are surrounded by a carbon-chain-rich lukewarm envelope (G28.28-0.36), while organic-rich MYSOs, namely hot cores, are surrounded by a CH3_{3}OH-rich lukewarm envelope (G12.89+0.49 and G16.86-2.16).
