High-Resolution Observations in B1-IRS: Ammonia, Ccs and Water Masers
We present a study of the structure and dynamics of the star-forming region B1-IRS (IRAS 03301+3057) using the properties of different molecules at high angular resolution (4''). We have used VLA observations of NH^sub 3^, CCS, and H^sub 2^O masers at 1 cm. CCS emission shows three clumps...

| Summary: | We present a study of the structure and dynamics of the star-forming region B1-IRS (IRAS 03301+3057) using the properties of different molecules at high angular resolution (4''). We have used VLA observations of NH^sub 3^, CCS, and H^sub 2^O masers at 1 cm. CCS emission shows three clumps around the central source, with a velocity gradient from red to blue-shifted velocities towards the protostar, probably due to the interaction with outflowing material. Water maser emission is elongated in the same direction as a reflection nebula detected at 2 μm by 2MASS, with the maser spots located in a structure of some hundreds of AU from the central source, possibly tracing a jet. We propose a new outflow model to explain all our observations, consisting of a molecular outflow near the plane of the sky. Ammonia emission is extended and anticorrelated with CCS. We have detected for the first time this anticorrelation at small scales (1400 AU) in a star-forming region.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
