英文摘要To investigate how the abundance of N2H+ varies as massive clumps evolve, here we present a multiwavelength study toward six molecular clouds. All of these clouds contain several massive clumps in different evolutionary stages of star formation. Using archival data of the Herschel infrared Galactic Plane Survey (Hi-GAL), we made H-2 column density and dust temperature maps of these regions by the spectral energy distribution method. We found that all of the six clouds show distinct dust temperature gradients, ranging from similar to 20 to similar to 30 K. This makes them good candidates to study chemical evolution of molecules (such as N2H+) in different evolutionary stages of star formation. Our molecular line data comes from the Millimeter Astronomy Legacy Team Survey at 90 GHz (MALT90). We made column density and then abundance maps of N2H+. We found that when the dust temperature is above 27 K, the abundance of N2H+ begins to decrease or reaches a plateau. We regard that this is because in the photodissociation regions around classical H II regions, N2H+ is heavily destroyed by free electrons. However, when the dust temperature is below 27 K, the abundance of N2H+ increases with the dust temperature. This seems to be inconsistent with previous chemical models made in low-mass star-forming regions. In order to investigate whether this inconsistency is caused by a different chemistry in high-mass star-forming clumps, higher angular resolution observations are necessary.
