High-pressure, low-abundance water in bipolar outflows

Abstract: Context. Water is a potential tracer of outflow activity because it is heavily depleted in cold ambient gas and is copiously produced in shocks.Aims. We present a survey of the water emission in a sample of more than 20 outflows from low-mass young stellar objects with the goal of characterizing the physical and chemical conditions of the emitting gas. Methods. We used the HIFI and PACS instruments on board the Herschel Space Observatory to observe the two fundamental lines of ortho-water at 557 and 1670 GHz. … Show more

“…Our H 2 O abundance estimate in HH 54 confirms the values recently found by Herschel in outflows from Class 0 sources (e.g. Bjerkeli et al 2012;Santangelo et al 2013;Tafalla et al 2013;Busquet et al 2014), which are based on the assumption that H 2 O traces the same gas as traced by the low-J H 2 emission. An estimate of the H 2 O abundance at the C knot can also be derived using the PACS map of H 2 O (2 12 −1 01 ) by Bjerkeli et al (2011).…”

“…The H 2 0−0 S(4) component appears to be associated with H 2 O and high-J CO, as expected from the comparison between the spatial distributions (e.g. Nisini et al 2010;Tafalla et al 2013;Santangelo et al 2013). We note that in the low-J CO an additional gas component around the systemic velocity is detected.…”

“…Those outflows extend well beyond the PACS field of view mapped here and their active outflow hot spots are not covered in our data. The excitation conditions for high-J CO and H 2 O emission in the outflow shocks have been determined recently in several studies based on PACS and HIFI observations (e.g., Santangelo et al 2012;Vasta et al 2012;Benedettini et al 2012;Bjerkeli et al 2012;Lefloch et al 2012;Codella et al 2012;Tafalla et al 2013). All studies conclude that only a combination of high density and temperature can account for the observed intensities.…”
