The hot corino-like chemistry of four FUor-like protostars

Abstract

Context: Compared to Class 0 protostars, the higher densities and lower temperatures of the disk midplanes of Class I young stellar objects (YSOs) limit the detectability of complex organic molecules (COMs). The elevated luminosities of eruptive YSOs increase disk temperatures sublimating frozen molecules and easing their detection. Aims: Our aim is to investigate the chemical composition of four FUor-like Class I YSOs: L1551 IRS 5, Haro 5a IRS, V346 Nor, and OO Ser, and to compare their abundances of COMs with other YSOs in the literature. Methods: We search for COMs line emission in ALMA Band 6 observations. We use the CASSIS software to determine their column densities (N) and excitation temperatures (T_ex) assuming local thermodynamical equilibrium. Results: We detect 249 transitions from 12 COMs. In L1551 IRS 5 we identified CH3OH, 13CH3OH, CH318OH, CH2DOH, CH3CHO, CH3OCH3, CH3OCHO, CH3COCH3, C2H5OH, C2H5CN, 13CH3CN, and CH3C15)N. Haro 5a IRS and OO Ser have emission from CH3OH, CH3CHO, CH3OCH3, and CH3OCHO. CH3COCH3 is also detected in OO Ser. In V346 Nor we found CH3OH, CH2DOH, CH3CHO, CH3OCH3, CH3OCHO, and C2H5CN. The emission of COMs is compact in all targets. The analysis indicates their temperatures are above 100K. The abundance ratios of COMs derived for these eruptive YSOs, as well as for other protostars in the literature, span several orders of magnitude without any clear differentiation between the eruptive and quiescent YSOs. The column density of the main isotopologue of CH3OH should not be used as a reference, as most of the lines are optically thick. Conclusions: The hot and compact emission of COMs indicates that the four FUor-like targets are hot corino-like. Spectral studies of such objects can be useful to investigate the complex organic chemistry at later evolutionary stages than the usual Class 0 stage.
