Probing the Innermost Region of the V883 Ori Disk Using ALMA Band 1 Methanol Line Observations

Yoshihide Yamato, Shota Notsu, Rui Zhuang +2

The snowlines of major volatiles in protoplanetary disks play a pivotal role in dust evolutions and volatile delivery to nascent planetary systems. In this paper, we report the Ata…

Subarcsecond Multi-line Observations of NH with VLA toward the Class 0 Source IRAS 16293-2422

Yoshihide Yamato, Yuri Aikawa, Kenji Furuya +2

Ammonia (NH) is one of the key volatiles that plays a central role in nitrogen chemistry and its evolution during the epoch of star and planet formation. We present subarcsecon…

Compact Hydrogen Sulfide Emission Indicates Sulfur-bearing Ice Sublimation in the Inner Disk of HD 163296

Yoshihide Yamato, Yuri Aikawa, Kenji Furuya +8

The sulfur chemistry in protoplanetary disks directly affects the composition and potential habitability of nascent planets, but its volatile inventory remains highly uncertain. He…

Time-dependent chemical evolution during cloud formation: H-regulated chemistry in diffuse molecular cloud

Yuto Komichi, Yuri Aikawa, Kazunari Iwasaki +1

We investigate the chemical evolution of a forming molecular cloud behind an interstellar shock wave. We conduct three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics simulations of the convergin…

Reconstructing the history of water ice formation from HDO/H2O and D2O/HDO ratios in protostellar cores

K. Furuya, E. F. van Dishoeck, Y. Aikawa

Recent interferometer observations have found that the D2O/HDO abundance ratio is higher than that of HDO/H2O by about one order of magnitude in the vicinity of low-mass protostar…

Water deuteration and ortho-to-para nuclear spin ratio of H2 in molecular clouds formed via the accumulation of HI gas

K. Furuya, Y. Aikawa, U. Hincelin +4

We investigate the water deuteration ratio and ortho-to-para nuclear spin ratio of H2 (OPR(H2)) during the formation and early evolution of a molecular cloud, following the scenari…
