| Abstract: |
We have recently conducted a five-point strip observation of
the DCO+, H13CO+, DNC, HN13C, and N2H+ lines toward low mass Class I protostar L1551 IRS5,
and have evaluated the deuterium fractionation ratios DCO+/HCO+ and DNC/HNC.
The DCO+/HCO+ ratio is found to be lower toward the protostar position than those toward the adjacent positions.
On the other hand, the DNC/HNC ratio does not show such a decrease toward the protostar position.
This suggests that the deuterium fractionation ratio of the neutral species is conserved after the star formation.
If so, the deuterium fractionation of the neutral species can be used as a novel tracer to investigate
the initial condition of the star formation process. |
