The interaction between dust, ice, and gas during the formation of stars produces complex organic molecules. While observations indicate that several species are formed on ice-covered dust grains and are released into the gas phase, the exact chemical interplay between solid and gas phases and their relative importance remain unclear.
Aims.
Our goal is to study the interplay between dust, ice, and gas in regions of low-mass star formation through ice- and gas-mapping and by directly measuring gas-to-ice ratios. This provides constraints on the routes that lead to the chemical complexity that is observed in solid and gas phases.
Methods.
We present observations of gas-phase methanol (CH
3
OH) and carbon monoxide (
13
CO and C
18
O) at 1.3 mm towards ten low-mass young protostars in the Serpens SVS 4 cluster from the SubMillimeter Array (SMA) and the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) telescope. We used archival data from the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to derive abundances of ice H
2
O, CO, and CH
3
OH towards the same region. Finally, we constructed gas-ice maps of SVS 4 and directly measured CO and CH
3
OH gas-to-ice ratios.
Results.
The SVS 4 cluster is characterised by a global temperature of 15 ± 5 K. At this temperature, the chemical behaviours of CH
3
OH and CO are anti-correlated: larger variations are observed for CH
3
OH gas than for CH
3
OH ice, whereas the opposite is seen for CO. The gas-to-ice ratios (
N
gas
/
N
ice
) range from 1–6 for CO and 1.4 × 10
−4
–3.7 × 10
−3
for CH
3
OH. The CO gas-maps trace an extended gaseous component that is not sensitive to the effect of freeze-out. Because of temperature variations and dust heating around 20 K, the frozen CO is efficiently desorbed. The CH
3
OH gas-maps, in contrast, probe regions where methanol is predominantly formed and present in ices and is released into the gas phase through non-thermal desorption mechanisms.
Conclusions.
Combining gas- and ice-mapping techniques, we measure gas-to-ice ratios of CO and CH
3
OH in the SVS 4 cluster. The CH
3
OH gas-to-ice ratio agrees with values that were previously reported for embedded Class 0/I low-mass protostars. We find that there is no straightforward correlation between CO and CH
3
OH gas with their ice counterparts in the cluster. This is likely related to the complex morphology of SVS 4: the Class 0 protostar SMM 4 and its envelope lie in the vicinity, and the outflow associated with SMM 4 intersects the cluster. This study serves as |
