Research Abstract |
We have investigated the timescale of high-mass starless core phase from the deuterium fractionation rations in massive clumps. We have observed the HNC and HN13C lines toward the massive clumps, including infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) and high-mass protostellar objects (HMPOs), with the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45 m telescope. We have found that the DNC/HNC ratio of the massive clumps is lower than that of the low-mass cores. This suggests that the timescale of high-mass starless phase is shorter than that of low-mass starless phase. By comparing with the model calculations, we have found that the timescale of high-mass starless phase is shorter than several times 104 yr.
