Chemical Diversity in Three Massive Young Stellar Objects associated with 6.7 GHz CH$_{3}$OH Masers
Abstract
We have carried out observations in the 4246 and 82103 GHz bands with the Nobeyama 45-m radio telescope, and in the 338.2339.2 and 348.45349.45 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, G16.862.16, and G28.280.36. We have detected HCN including its C and D isotopologues, CHOH, CHCCH, and several complex organic molecules (COMs). Combining our previous results of HCN in these sources, we compare the (HCN)/(CHOH) ratios in the three observed sources. The ratio in G28.280.36 is derived to be , which is higher than that in G12.89+0.49 by one order of magnitude, and that in G16.862.16 by a factor of . We investigate the relationship between the (HCN)/(CHOH) ratio and the (CHCCH)/(CHOH) ratio. The relationships of the two column density ratios in G28.280.36 and G16.862.16 are similar to each other, while HCN is less abundant when compared to CHCCH in G12.89+0.49. These results imply a chemical diversity in the lukewarm ( 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 G28.280.36. These results suggest that organic-poor MYSOs are surrounded by a carbon-chain-rich lukewarm envelope (G28.280.36), while organic-rich MYSOs, namely hot cores, are surrounded by a CHOH-rich lukewarm envelope (G12.89+0.49 and G16.862.16).
