Abstract
We present an investigation of complex organic molecules (COMs) in the spatially resolved Keplerian disk around V883 Ori, an eruptive young star, based on a spectral survey carried out with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Band 6 (220.7−274.9 GHz). We identified about 3700 molecular emission lines and discovered 23 COMs in the disk. We estimated the column densities of the COMs detected, using the iterative LTE line-fitting method. According to our analyses, using only optically thin lines is critical to deriving the reliable column densities of COMs. Therefore, covering a large frequency range is important for the studies of COMs. The most distinct phenomenon found from the spectra of the V883 Ori disk is that nitrogen-bearing COMs other than CH3CN are missing, whereas various oxygen-bearing COMs, except for the CH2OH-bearing molecules, are detected. The missing CH2OH-bearing COMs may indicate the warm water-ice dominant environment for forming COMs. We compared our results with various objects in different evolutionary stages, from Class 0 hot corinos to a solar system comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, to examine the effect of evolution on the COM compositions. In general, the COM abundances relative to methanol in V883 Ori are higher than in the hot corinos and hot cores, while they are comparable to the cometary values. This may indicate the planet-forming material chemically evolves in the disk midplane after being accreted from the envelope. In addition, as found in the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, nitrogen might also be trapped as ammonium salt within the dust grains in the V883 Ori disk.
