Observational studies on S-bearing molecules in massive star forming regions

Abstract

Aims. We present observational results of H${}_2$S 1${}_{10}$-1${}_{01}$, H${}_2$${}^{34}$S 1${}_{10}$-1${}_{01}$, H${}_2$CS 5${}_{14}$-4${}_{14}$, HCS${}^{+}$ 4-3, SiO 4-3, HC${}_3$N 19-18 and C${}^{18}$O 1-0 toward a sample of 51 late-stage massive star-forming regions, to study relationships among H${}_2$S, H${}_2$CS, HCS${}^{+}$ and SiO in hot cores. Chemical connections of these S-bearing molecules are discussed based on the relations between relative abundances in sources. Results. H${}_2$S 1${}_{10}$-1${}_{01}$, H${}_2$${}^{34}$S 1${}_{10}$-1${}_{01}$, H${}_2$CS 5${}_{14}$-4${}_{14}$, HCS${}^{+}$ 4-3 and HC${}_3$N 19-18 were detected in 50 of the 51 sources, while SiO 4-3 was detected in 46 sources. C${}^{18}$O 1-0 was detected in all sources. The Pearson correlation coefficients between H${}_2$CS and HCS${}^{+}$ normalized by H${}_2$ and H${}_2$S are 0.94 and 0.87, respectively, and a tight linear relationship is found between them with slope of 1.00 and 1.09, while they are 0.77 and 0.98 between H${}_2$S and H${}_2$CS, respectively, and 0.76 and 0.97 between H${}_2$S and HCS${}^{+}$. The values of full width at half maxima (FWHM) of them in each source are similar to each other, which indicate that they can trace similar regions. Comparing the observed abundance with model results, there is one possible time (2-3$\times$10${}^5$ yr) for each source in the model. The abundances of these molecules increase with the increment of SiO abundance in these sources, which implies that shock chemistry may be important for them. Conclusions. Close abundance relation of H${}_2$S, H${}_2$CS and HCS${}^{+}$ molecules and similar line widths in observational results indicate that these three molecules could be chemically linked, with HCS${}^{+}$ and H${}_2$CS the most correlated. The comparison of the observational results with chemical models shows that the abundances can be reproduced for almost all the sources at a specific time. The observational results, including abundances in these sources need to be considered in further modeling H${}_2$S, H${}_2$CS and HCS${}^{+}$ in hot cores with shock chemistry.
