Observations of L1521F: A highly evolved starless core

Abstract: Abstract. We observed the pre-stellar core L1521F in dust emission at 1.2 mm and in two transitions each of N 2 H + , N 2 D + , C 18 O and C 17 O in order to increase the sample of well studied centrally concentrated and chemically evolved starless cores, likely on the verge of star formation, and to determine the initial conditions for low-mass star formation in the Taurus Molecular Cloud. The dust observation allows us to infer the density structure of the core and together with measurements of CO isotopomer… Show more

“…The corresponding CO depletion factor, f D , is only 1.4 with respect to the often adopted fractional abundance from Frerking et al (1982) 10 . The small value of R deut is consistent with a low CO depletion factor (e.g., Crapsi et al 2004).…”

“…In this case, the very high R D (N 2 H + ) value would be remnant of the earlier COdepleted phase, and not yet affected by the gas-phase CO which destroys N 2 H + and N 2 D + . An opposite situation was found by Crapsi et al (2004) towards the chemically evolved dense core L1521F which harbours a very low luminosity object or VeLLO (Bourke et al 2006), where f D ∼ 15 but R D (N 2 H + ) is only ∼0.1. For comparison, Crapsi et al (2005) derived the values of R D (N 2 H + ) in the range 0.02−0.44 for their sample of starless cores, and Daniel et al (2007) derived comparable values of R D (N 2 H + ) ∼ 0.07−0.53 towards another sample of starless cores.…”

“…Besides the high central density and infall asymmetry, L1521F also shows molecular depletion and enhanced deuterium fractionation (Crapsi et al 2004;Shinnaga et al 2004). Crapsi et al (2004) explain this by suggesting that L1521F is less chemically evolved and has a molecular hole of radius < 2000 AU.…”
