Abstract
Molecular line observations of NH₃ (J,K)=(1,1) and (2, 2) and CH₃OH at 24.93 GHz taken with the Australian Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) toward the massive twin cores NGC 6334I and NGC 6334I(N) reveal significant variations in the line emission between the two massive cores. The UC H II region/hot core NGC 6334I exhibits strong thermal NH₃ and CH₃OH emission adjacent to the UC H II region and coincident with two millimeter continuum peaks observed by T. R. Hunter et al. In contrast, we find neither compact NH₃ nor thermal CH₃OH line emission toward NGC 6334I(N). There the NH₃ emission is distributed over a broad region (>1') without a clear peak, and we find Class I CH₃OH maser emission with peak brightness temperatures up to 7000 K. The maser emission peaks appear to be spatially associated with the interfaces between the molecular outflows and the ambient dense gas. Peak NH₃ (1, 1) line brightness temperatures >=70 K in both regions indicate gas temperatures on the same order. NH₃ emission is also detected toward the outflow in NGC 6334I, resulting in an estimated rotational temperature of T_rot~19 K. Furthermore, we observe CH₃OH and NH₃ absorption toward the UC H II region the velocity structure is consistent with expanding molecular gas around the UC H II region. Thermal and kinematic effects possibly imposed from the UC H II region on the molecular core are also discussed. eprintid: arXiv:astro-ph/0504074
