| Abstract: |
We have conducted systematic surveys of several molecular lines toward massive clumps, which include infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) and high-mass protostellar objects (HMPOs), in order to investigate their evolutionary stages. From these surveys, we have found that most of the massive clumps are chemically more evolved than young low-mass starless cores, and that the shocks due to interaction between outflow and ambient dense gas are more significant in the earlier evolutionary stage of high-mass star formation.
Furthermore, we suggest that the initial condition may be different between high- and low-mass star formation. |
