ASTE Submillimeter Observations of a Young Stellar Object Condensation in Cederblad 110

Abstract

We present results of submillimeter observations of a low-mass young stellar object (YSO) condensation in the Cederblad 110 region of the Chamaeleon I dark cloud with the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment. Our HCO+(J=4-3) map reveals a dense molecular gas with an extent of ~0.1 pc, which is a complex of two envelopes associated with class I sources Ced 110 IRS 4 and IRS 11 and a very young object Cha-MMS 1. The other two class I sources in this region, IRS 6 and NIR 89, are located outside the clump and have no extended HCO+ emission. HCO+ abundance is calculated to be 2.6×10-10 for MMS 1 and 3.4×10-9 for IRS 4, which are comparable to the reported value for other young sources. Bipolar outflows from IRS 4 and IRS 6 are detected in our 12CO(J=3-2) map. The outflow from IRS 4 seems to collide with Cha-MMS 1. The outflow has enough momentum to affect gas motion in MMS 1, although no sign has been detected to indicate that a triggered star formation has occurred.
