ATOMS: ALMA three-millimeter observations of massive star-forming regions - XIII. Ongoing triggered star formation within clump-fed scenario found in the massive (similar to 1500 M-circle dot) clump

Whether ionization feedback triggers the formation of massive stars is highly debated. Using ALMA 3-mm observations with a spatial resolution of similar to 0.05 pc and a mass sensitivity of 1.1 per beam at 20 K, we investigate the star formation and gas flow structures within the ionizing feedback-driven structure, a clump-scale massive (greater than or similar to 1500 ) bright-rimmed cloud (BRC) associated with IRAS 18290-0924. This BRC is bound only if external compression from ionized gas is considered. A small-scale (less than or similar to 1 pc) age sequence along the direction of ionizing radiation is revealed for the embedded cores and protostars, which suggests triggered star formation via radiation-driven implosion (RDI). Furthermore, filamentary gas structures converge towards the cores located in the BRC's centre, indicating that these filaments are fueling mass towards cores. The local core-scale mass infall rate derived from (HCO+)-C-13 J = 1 - 0 blue profile is of the same order of magnitude as the filamentary mass inflow rate, approximately 1 M-circle dot kyr(-1). A photodissociation region (PDR) covering the irradiated clump surface is detected in several molecules, such as CCH, HCO+, and CS whereas the spatial distribution stratification of these molecules is indistinct. CCH spectra of the PDR possibly indicate a photoevaporation flow leaving the clump surface with a projected velocity of similar to 2 kms(-1). Our new observations show that RDI accompanied by a clump-fed process is operating in this massive BRC. Whether this combined process works in other massive BRCs is worth exploring with dedicated surveys.
