英文摘要 | Gas infall motions play a crucial role in high-mass star formation and are characterized by observable signatures of blueshifted asymmetric spectral line profiles ("blue profiles"). However, the connection between blue profiles and infall motions is unclear due to complex gas motions at parsec scales. In this study, we present the results of an HCN (4-3) mapping survey conducted with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, toward 38 massive clumps exhibiting blue profiles in HCO+ (3-2). We extract 34 HCN cores from the 38 observed fields. The core-averaged spectra show various line profiles, indicating that blue-profile HCO+ (3-2) does not guarantee the same in HCN (4-3). Through non-LTE radiative-transfer calculations, we attribute the low detection rate of high-J blue profiles to a combination of insufficient HCN (4-3) opacity and the intricate gas motion across different density layers. A comparison between the MALT90 and Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey line surveys highlights the importance of appropriate tracers, high spectral resolution, and column density thresholds when searching for blue profiles. We select 11 reliable infall candidates and adopt the Hill5 model to fit the infall velocity of 0.2-1.6 km s-1, corresponding to 5%-74% of freefall velocity. Assuming a spherically collapsing model, we estimate the median and mean mass infall rates to be 4.5 x 10-3 and 7.6 x 10-3 M circle dot yr-1, respectively. The consistency of the mass infall rates among different transitions suggests a steady accretion process from the clump gas envelope to the inner region. |
