Grain growth and its chemical impact in the first hydrostatic core phase
arxiv(2024)
摘要
The first hydrostatic core (FHSC) phase is a brief stage in the protostellar
evolution that is difficult to detect. Our goal is to characterize the chemical
evolution of gas and dust during the formation of the FHSC. Moreover, we are
interested in analyzing, for the first time with 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)
simulations, the role of grain growth in its chemistry. We postprocessed
2×10^5 tracer particles from a non-ideal MHD
simulation using the codes and to follow
the chemistry and grain growth throughout the simulation. A great chemical
inheritance is seen, as gas-phase abundances of most of the C, O, N, and S
reservoirs in the hot corino at the end of the simulation match the ice-phase
abundances from the prestellar phase. Additionally, interstellar complex
organic molecules (iCOMs) such as methyl formate, acetaldehyde, and formamide
are formed during the warm-up process. The typical grain size in the hot corino
(n_ H>10^11 cm^-3) increases forty-fold during the last 30
kyr, with negligible effects on its chemical composition. At moderate densities
