Abstract
We report the discovery of a massive SCUBA core with evidence of inflow and outflow motions. This core is detected by SCUBA at both 450 and 850 micro meter. Barely resolved by the telescope beam at 450 micro meter, it has a size of 10 arcsec, corresponding to 0.28 pc at a distance of 5.7 kpc. The dust temperature is estimated to be less than 29 K, the total mass is 820 solar mass and the average density is 1.1e-6 per cube-cm in a region with a radius of 5 arcsec. Follow-up spectral line observations, including HCN (3-2), HCO+ (3-2), H13CO+ (3-2) and C17O (2-1) reveal a typical blue profile which indicates that this core is collapsing. The CO (3-2) line profile is as broad as 38 km/s, indicating outflow motions in this region. This core is approximately 1.5 pc away from the known HII region G25.4NW, but there are no obvious radio, IRAS, MSX or Spitzer sources associated with it. We suggest that this core is at a very early stage of massive star or cluster formation.
