THE CENSUS
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 6 1. The census
IN ORDER TO STUDY THE STRUCTURE AND EVOLUTION OF PROTOSTARS WE NEED TO HAVE THE OBJECTS TO STUDY: THE LARGEST POSSIBLE SAMPLE COVERING THE LARGEST POSSIBLE ENVIRONMENT CONDITIONS, POSITIONS IN THE GALAXY, AND EVOLUTIONARY STATUS.
WE NEED A CENSUS OF THE PROTOSTARS IN OUR GALAXY
THE CENSUS
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 7 1. The census
IRAS: THE START OF THE STORY WITH THE FIRST CATALOGUE LIMITED SENSITIVITY, SPATIAL RESOLUTION AND FREQUENCY COVERAGE
DEFINITION OF CLASS I, II, III GROUND BASED SURVEYS IN THE IR AND mm
INTRODUCTION OF CLASS 0 (and CLASS –I /prestellar cores)
ISO: ISOCAM MAPPED IN THE MIR (7 and 14 µm) A FEW deg2 OF NEARBY STAR-‐FORMING REGIONS
SPITZER: MAPPED 15.5 deg2 OF FIVE LARGE NEARBY MOLECULAR CLOUDS DISCOVERY OF THE VELLOS

THE STRUCTURE OF PROTOSTARS
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 11 2. The structure
WHY: WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE DENSITY AND TEMPERATURE PROFILES TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ARE THE ACTORS/PROCESSES ENTERING THE STAR FORMATION PROCESS
OBSERVED PROFILES
MODEL PREDICTIONS
How important are the magne8c fields, the turbulence? What did start the collapse?...
THE STRUCTURE OF THE PROTOSTAR
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 12 2. The structure
DERIVATION OF THE DENSITY AND TEMPERATURES PROFILES:
1) Dust density and temperature profiles " " con8nuum spectral energy distribu8on + emission maps
2) Gas density and temperature profiles line spectra (emission + absorp8on)

RESULTS Most of the density profiles of Class 0 sources are consistent with the free-‐fall structure, within the error bars, with a few excep8ons.
Class 0
free-‐fall
QUESTIONS: So far only the brightest objects have been modeled: what is the profile of low luminosity objects? Will they form ~1 Mo or << Mo stars ? Why, when and how? => Study of hydrosta8c cores?
Dust temperature and density profiles
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 16 2. The structure
THE SPITZER AT 20-‐60mic OBSERVATIONS HAVE RAISED THE QUESTION WHETHER LARGE CAVITIES ARE PRESENT IN SOME PROTOSTELLAR ENVELOPES (e.g. Schoier et al. 2004, Jorgensen et al. 2005)
BUT IS THE COW REALLY SPHERICAL?
No cavity With a cavity
Crim
ier et al. 2010
THE CAVITY MODEL FITS THE SPITZER DATA BUT NOT THE LARGE SCALE MAPS (e.g Crimier et al. 2010)
..???.... IS THE NIR DUE TO A
DISK?
Dust temperature and density profiles
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 17 2. The structure
SPICA WITH ITS 2-‐ORDERS OF MAG BETTER SENSITIVITY WILL HAVE CERTAINLY A KEY ROLE TO PLAY HERE:
1. STUDY OF NEARBY LOW LUMINOSITY PROTOSTARS: HYDROSTATIC CORES?
2. STUDY OF DISTANT LOW-‐MASS PROTOSTARS: IS STAR FORMATION IN DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT MUCH DIFFERENT TOO?
3. STUDY OF THE GEOMETRY (COMPLEMENTARY TO ALMA STUDIES): WHY NIR IS BRIGHT IN MANY EMBEDDED PROTOSTARS?

THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 19 3. The chemistry
WHY: WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION ACROSS THE ENVELOPE TO UNDERSTAND THE PHYSICAL STATUS OF THE GAS AND THE HISTORY OF THE PROTOSTAR
OBSERVED SPECIES
MODEL PREDICTIONS
How is the gas cooled? What is the ioniza8on? Why? Which species are in the gas phase, which are frozen? Why? What is the age of the protostar? What is the molecular complexity during the star forma8on process?...
C.Ceccarelli -‐ ATROMOL IPAG 20
BEFORE THE ONSET OF THE COLLAPSE, THE CONDITIONS (LOW TEMP AND HIGH DENS) ARE PROPITIUS TO THE FORMATION OF ICED DUST MANTLES
1) MOLECULES like CO FREEZE OUT ONTO THE DUST GRAINS
2) O, N, CO HYDROGENATION ON GRAINS FORM H2O, NH3, H2CO, CH3OH…

WATER: THE DOMINANT COOLANT IN THE INNERMOST WARM REGIONS (HOT CORES/CORINOS)
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 23 2. The structure
MODELS PREDICT THAT THE GAS MAY BE THERMALLY DECOUPLED BY THE DUST AT THE BORDER AND IN THE INNER REGION (WHERE TDUST>TICE-‐SUBLIMATION) OF THE ENVELOPE, DEPENDING ON THE WATER ABUNDANCE IN THE INNER REGIONS.
Crimier et al. 2010
QUESTIONS: Does the thermal decoupling influences the dynamical collapse? How does it depend on the water abundance?
Gas temperature profile
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 24 2. The structure
HERSCHEL IS PROVIDING A MINE OF NEW DATA IN LOW AND HIGH MASS PROTOSTARS
THE ABUNDANCE MEASURED IN THE HOT CORES/CORINOS SEEMS TO BE <10-‐4 (=THE ABUNDANCE OF ICED WATER):
WHY?

SPICA WILL PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN PROVIDING OBSERVATION OF LINES FROM HIGH-‐J CO and HIGH LYING
H2O TRANSITIONS AS WELL AS FROM MANY OTHER ABUNDANT HYDRIDES LIKE NH3, OH, HCO+, HCN…
THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 28 3. The chemistry
THE HERSCHEL UNBIASED SPECTRAL SURVEYS ARE HELPING US IN UNDERSTANDING THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF HIGH AND LOW MASS PROTOSTARS. THEY WILL ALSO GUIDE THE NEW SPICA-‐SAFARI OBSERVATIONS TO DO.

THE CHESS HERSCHEL KEY PROGRAM Ceccarelli et al. 2010
The large majority of the lines have upper level energy >100K => they originate in warm/hot gas. Excep8ons: fundamental lines of some hydrides, H2O, NH3, HCl, and D2O => from cold gas.

THE NUMBER OF LINES DECREASES WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY, BECAUSE OF
THE LINES EXCITATION AND DUST ABSORPTION C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 31
SPICA-‐SAFARI
HIGH MASS = HIGH ABSORPTION
C.Ceccarelli -‐ Rome, Feb 2013 32

MODEL PREDICTIONS
How much energy is injected in the ISM? How? What kind of shocks are created? How are they cooled? How are they generated? Jets/wide winds? What species are injected in the ISM from those shocks?
WHY: OUTFLOWS ARE UBIQUITOUS AND A KEY INGREDIENT IN THE STAR FORMATION PROCESS: THEY GET RID OF THE ANGULAR MOMENTUM, DISSIPATE THE PLACENTAL ENVELOPE, DESTROY THE PARENTAL CLOUD INJECTING TURBULENCE IN ISM

HERSCHEL IS HELPING TO SOLVE THE SEVERAL OPEN QUESTIONS LEFT BY ITS PRECEDESSORS AND MORE WILL COME IN THE COMING YEARS, BUT IT WILL NOT ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS: SPICA WILL BE GREATLY IMPROVE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF
