Abstract

We present a high-resolution study of a massive dense core JCMT 18354-0649S with the Submillimeter Array. The core is mapped with continuum emission at 1.3 mm, and molecular lines including CH3_{3}OH (5235_{23}-4134_{13}) and HCN (3-2). The dust core detected in the compact configuration has a mass of 47M47 M_{\odot} and a diameter of 2\arcsec2\arcsec (0.06 pc), which is further resolved into three condensations with a total mass of 42M42 M_{\odot} under higher spatial resolution. The HCN (3-2) line exhibits asymmetric profile consistent with infall signature. The infall rate is estimated to be 2.0×103M2.0\times10^{-3} M_{\odot}\cdotyr1^{-1}. The high velocity HCN (3-2) line wings present an outflow with three lobes. Their total mass is 12M12 M_{\odot} and total momentum is 121M121 M_{\odot}\cdotkm s1^{-1}, respectively. Analysis shows that the N-bearing molecules especially HCN can trace both inflow and outflow.
