Full textIn this thesis we present a multi-frequency observational study of the properties of IRAS 16293-2422 (I16293), a very-well studied low-mass solar-type multiple stellar system located within the Ophiuchus complex. Because I16293 is the prototype source for astrochemistry due to its wealth of molecular lines, it provides a suitable laboratory to study not only the physics of clustered star-formation but also the chemistry in early stages of this process. In this thesis, we will place special emphasis on nitrogen-bearing molecules present in I16293since these species are known to be powerful tools to derive chemical, kinematic and dynamic properties of star-forming regions over a wide range of conditions. The first part of this work is based on the analysis of the individual components of I16293 from interferometric centimeter -and millimeter- wavelength continuum observations. Since the correct interpretation of the observations and their corresponding modelling strongly depend on the accurate measurement of its distance, we have measured the parallax to its H2O maser emission at 22.2 GHz based on archival Very Large Baseline Array (VLBA) observations, obtaining a precise estimation of the distance of 141(+30,-21)pc. From high angular resolution observations with the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), we followed the astrometry of the individual objects in the system for almost 30 years. We have seen that the properties of source B are remarkable because its spectrum indicates that its emission is dominated by thermal dust radiation. We present a full radiative transfer modelling of the structure of this source. The density and temperature profiles needed to explain the observational properties of source B resemble those expected for first hydrostatic cores. This fact, combined with the lack of free- free centimeter emission, might indicate that source B is just entering the protostellar phase. In the second part of the thesis we focus on the chemistry of I16293 based on single-dish observations of nitrogen-bearing molecules obtained with the radiotelescopes IRAM-30m, APEX, JCMT and the HIFI instrument on-board the Herschel Space Observatory over a wide frequency range from 80 GHz to 1 THz. We have extracted the rotational transitions of isocyanic acid (HNCO) from the observations and used a radiative transfer model out of Local Thermodynamical Equilibrium (non-LTE) to reproduce the observed line profiles. We conclude that I16293 can be modelled considering three regions: a dense, compact and warm component related with the hot corino, a warm and extended component associated with the innermost part of the envelope and a more extended and cold layer associated with the outermost part of the envelope. It is important to emphasize that the emission produced by these regions interacts one with another. As a consequence, our analysis not only constraints the properties of the different regions, but also establishes their relative positions along the line of sight. An HNCO abundance profile for the envelope of I16293 computed with the chemical code Nautilus shows a good agreement with the abundances derived from our radiative transfer model. On the other hand, the lines of cyanide (CN) have much more complex profiles since they show hyperfine structure and present deep absorptions. Indeed, since we detect the CN rotational transitions from J = 1 - 0 to J = 5 - 4 level, we have used an LTE model in CASSIS and defined a separate model for each transition. We noted that an extended emission larger than the envelope of I16293 is needed to correctly model the line profiles. We also derived the abundance ratio between CN and its isotopes 13CN and C15N.Taken together, the results presented here enabled us to constrain the structure of IRAS 16293- 2422 from the scale of its individual protostars (~ 10 AU) up to the scale of its extended envelope (~ 10,000 AU)

Full textConditions leading to the formation of high-mass stars are still under investigation but an evolutionary scenario has been proposed: As a cold pre-stellar core collapses under gravitational force, the medium warms up and enters the hot molecular core (HMC) phase. The forming central proto-star accretes materials, increasing its mass and luminosity and eventually it becomes sufficiently evolved to emit UV photons which irradiate the surrounding environment forming a hyper compact (HC) and then a ultracompact (UC) HII region. At this stage, a very dense and very thin internal photon-dominated region (PDR) forms between the HII region and the molecular core.Information on the chemistry allows to trace the physical processes occurring in these different phases of star formation. Therefore, chemistry also allows the determination of the evolutionary stage of astrophysical objects through the use of chemical models including the time evolution of the temperature and radiation field. So far, few studies have investigated internal PDRs and only in the presence of outflows cavities. Thus, these unique regions around HC/UCHII regions remain to be examined thoroughly.My PhD thesis focuses on the spatio-temporal chemical evolution in HC/UC HII regions with internal PDRs as well as in HMCs. The purpose of this study is first to understand the impact and effects of the radiation field, usually very strong in these regions, on the chemistry. Secondly, the goal is to study the emission of various tracers of HC/UCHII regions and compare it with HMCs models, where the UV radiation field does not impact the region as it is immediately attenuated by the medium. Ultimately we want to determine the age of a given region using chemistry in combination with radiative transfer. To investigate these transient phases of massive star formation, we use the astrochemical code Saptarsy optimized and improved during this PhD thesis. Saptarsy is a gas-grain code computing the spatio-temporal evolution of relative abundances. It is based on the rate equation approach and uses an updated Ohio State University (OSU) chemical network. Moreover, Saptarsy works along with the radiative transfer code RADMC-3D via a Python based program named Pandora. This is done in order to obtain synthetic spectra directly comparable to observations using the detailed spatio-temporal evolution of species abundances.In addition to comparing a HC/UCHII region to a HMC model, we obtain models for different sizes of HII regions, for various densities at the ionization front and for two different density profiles. We investigate the critical dependance of the abundances on the initial conditions and we also explore the importance of the emission coming from the envelope for various species. We find that among the dozen of molecules and atoms we have studied only four of them trace the UC/HCHII region phase or the HMC phase. They are C+ and O for the first and CH3OH and H218O for the second phase. However, more species could be studied to probe and identify these phases

Full textThe present PhD thesis goal is the study of the molecular complexity in solar type star forming regions. It specifically focuses on two classes of molecules with a pre-biotic value, the complex organic molecules and the cyanopolyynes.At this scope, I analyzed data from single-dish spectral surveys by means of non-LTE or/and non-LTE radiative transfer codes in two sources, a solar type protostar in an isolated and quiet environment (IRAS16293-2422) and a proto-cluster of solar type protostars (OMC2-FIR4). The goal is to find similarities and differences between these two cases.I used data from two spectra surveys: TIMASSS (The IRAS16293-2422 Millimeter And Submillimeter Spectral Survey), which has been carried out in 2011 (Caux et al. 2011), and ASAI (Astrochemical Surveys At IRAM), which has been carried out in 2013-2015 (e.g. Lopez-Sepulcre et al. 2015).I extracted the lines (identification and integrated intensity) by means of the publicly available package CASSIS (Centre dAnalyse Scientifique de Spectres Infrarouges et Submillimtriques).Finally, I used the package GRAPES (GRenoble Analysis of Protostellar Envelope Spectra) to model the Spectral Line Energy Distribution (SLED) of the detected molecules, and to estimate their abundance across the envelope and hot corino of IRAS16293-2422 and OMC2-FIR4, respectively.The major results of the thesis are:1) The first full census of complex organic molecules (COMs) in IRAS16293-2422;2) The first detection of COMs in the cold envelope of a solar type protostar (IRAS16293-2422), supporting the idea that a relatively efficient formation mechanism for the detected COMs must exist in the cold gas phase;3) The discovery of a tight correlation between the dimethyl ether (DME) and methyl format (MF), suggesting a mother-daughter relationship;4) The detection of formamide, a species with a very high pre-biotic value, in several protostars, included IRAS16293-2422 and OMC2-FIR4;5) The full census of the cyanopolyynes in IRAS16293-2422 and OMC2-FIR4, with the detection of HC3N and HC5N, DC3N and, for OMC2-FIR4, the 13C isotopologue of HC3N cyanopolyynes.These results are the focus of two published articles (Jaber et al. 2014, ApJ; Lopez-Sepulcre, Jaber et al. 2015, MNRAS), one accepted article (Jaber et al., A&A) and a final article to be submitted (Jaber et al., A&A)
Vidal, Thomas. "Revisiting the chemistry of star formation." Thesis, Bordeaux, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018BORD0151/document.
Full textAstrochemical studies of star formation are of particular interest because they provide a better understanding of how the chemical composition of the Universe has evolved, from the diffuse interstellar medium to the formation of stellar systems and the life they can shelter. Recent advances in chemical modeling, and particularly a better understanding of grains chemistry, now allow to bring new hints on the chemistry of the star formation process, as well as the structures it involves. In that context, the objective of my thesis was to give a new look at the chemistry of star formation using the recent enhancements of the Nautilus chemical model. To that aim, I focused on the sulphur chemistry throughout star formation, from its evolution in dark clouds to hot cores and corinos, attempting to tackle the sulphur depletion problem. I first carried out a review of the sulphur chemical network before studying its effects on the modeling of sulphur in dark clouds. By comparison with observations, I showed that the textsc{Nautilus} chemical model was the first able to reproduce the abundances of S-bearing species in dark clouds using as elemental abundance of sulphur its cosmic one. This result allowed me to bring new insights on the reservoirs of sulphur in dark clouds. I then conducted an extensive study of sulphur chemistry in hot cores and corinos, focusing on the effects of their pre-collapse compositions on the evolution of their chemistries. I also studied the consequences of the use of the common simplifications made on hot core models. My results show that the pre-collapse composition is a key parameter for the evolution of hot cores which could explain the variety of sulphur composition observed in such objects. Moreover, I highlighted the importance of standardizing the chemical modeling of hot cores in astrochemical studies. For my last study, I developed an efficient method for the derivation of the initial parameters of collapse of dark clouds via the use of a physico-chemical database of collapse models, and comparison with observations of Class 0 protostars. From this method, and based on a sample of 12 sources, I was able to derive probabilities on the possible initial parameters of collapse of low-mass star formation

Full textIntermediate-mass stars (2 M⊙ ≤ M ≤ 10 M⊙) are among the dominant sources of FUV interstellar field in the Galaxy. They regulate the phases of interstellar medium and the whole process of galactic star formation. While solar-type and massive protostars have been and continue to be the subject of many studies, the formation of intermediate stars has been relatively little studied. Their physical structure, chemical composition and molecular richness are still a subject to explore.The aim of my thesis is to obtain a detailed census, as complete as possible ,of the physical and chemical structure of an isolated intermediate-mass protostar: Cep E-mm (100 L⊙).I have completed a spectral survey of the molecular emission in the (sub)millimetre bands between 72 and 350 GHz with IRAM 30m telescope. The sensitivity of the observations made it possible to identify the presence of numerous complex organic molecules (COMs) in the protostar envelope, but also several unusual molecular species in the protostellar jet. Additionally, further observations with the IRAM 30m telescope made it possible to map the molecular emission at large scale (20’’ to 11’’; 15000 to 8000 AU). In parallel, interferometric maps of the molecular emission between 86 – 90 GHz and 216 – 220 GHz were obtained with NOEMA, the IRAM interferometer, at 1.4’’ (1000 AU) of angular resolution. These observations allowed me to obtain the distribution of molecular emission within the source, from large scales in the outer parts of the extended envelope, to the small scales in the hot corino region. The single-dish and interferometric observations were reduced and analysed in a meticulous manner. More precisely, I identified and separated the molecular emission contribution from the different physical regions as observed with the IRAM 30m telescope. I have identified and characterized fours physical components that differ in their spectroscopic properties and excitation conditions: the extended envelope, the hot corino, the bipolar outflow and the high-velocity jet. Finally, the anisotropy of the brightness distribution from the outflow system cannot be modelled by the “classical” Gaussian approach. I have developed specific tools to estimate, in a semi-analytical manner, the coupling between the telescope lobe and the source

Full textHigh-mass star formation is still poorly understood. In particular the initial conditions of their formation are unknown. To explore this question, a complete unbiased spectral survey was conducted with the IRAM 30 m telescope toward the massive protostar CygX-N63 (M~58 M◦ and L~ 340 L◦). A significant molecular complexity is found, with more than 40 species. The ion CF+ is observed for the first time in a protostar. A possible first detection of the prebiotic species CH2NH in a protostar and a first detection of DOCO+ are proposed. This spectroscopic study, along with Plateau de Bure interferometric observations, allows us to separate the contribution of different regions : cold envelope, lukewarm region, hot corelike region and outflow. The envelope contains large amounts of cold and young gas, which gives us the opportunity to better understand the early phases of massive star formation. The chemical modeling shows that the chemistry is still out of equilibrium, despite its high density, and confirms the youth of the protostar with a chemical age of ~ 1000 years. N63 is a hot core precursor rather than a massive hot corino. The use of chemical diagnostics of the evolution would then allow to distinguish massive star precursors from low-mass or intermediate-mass protostars

Full textThe question of angular momentum extraction from protoplanetary disks (hereafter PPDs) is fundamental in understanding the accretion process in young stars and the formation conditions of planets. Pioneering semi-analytical work, followed by a growing body of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations, have shown that when a significant vertical magnetic field is present, MHD disk winds (hereafter MHD-DWs) can develop and ex- tract some or all of the angular momentum flux required for accretion. The aim of this PhD thesis is to exploit the unprecedented capabilities provided by ALMA to clarify the accretion-ejection process in protostars. This goal is achieved following three approaches: 1) comparison of MHD-DW models with the kinematics of HH 212 jet observed by ALMA at high angular resolution. I report the discovery of a rotating SO/SO2 wind consistent with a MHD-DWs launched out to ∼40 au with SiO tracing dust-free streamlines launched from 0.05−0.3 au. 2) Analytical and numerical study of the interaction between a pulsat- ing inner jet embedded in a stationary disk wind. Observational signatures are identified from the morphology and the kinematics of bow-shock shells. 3) Chemical signatures of a jet launched inside the dust sublimation radius (∼ 0.2 au). I show that despite the strong X-FUV field and the absence of dust, molecules like SiO or CO can form efficiently from a small fraction of H2. This scenario will be confronted to JWST observations

Full textLow mass stars, like our Sun, are born from the collapse of a molecular cloud. The matter falls in the center of the cloud, creating a protoplanetary disk surrounding a protostar. Planets and other solar system bodies will be formed in the disk.The chemical composition of the interstellar matter and its evolution during the formation of the disk are important to better understand the formation process of these objects.I studied the chemical and physical evolution of this matter, from the cloud to the disk, using the chemical gas-grain code Nautilus.A sensitivity study to some parameters of the code (such as elemental abundances and parameters of grain surface chemistry) has been done. More particularly, the updates of rate coefficients and branching ratios of the reactions of our chemical network showed their importance, such as on the abundances of some chemical species, and on the code sensitivity to others parameters.Several physical models of collapsing dense core have also been considered. The more complex and solid approach has been to interface our chemical code with the radiation-magneto-hydrodynamic model of stellar formation RAMSES, in order to model in three dimensions the physical and chemical evolution of a young disk formation. Our study showed that the disk keeps imprints of the past history of the matter, and so its chemical composition is sensitive to the initial conditions
