Abstract
AbstractWe present the results of high-resolution continuum and molecular line observations towards the Galactic HII region, G10.32-0.26. The continuum map with ALMA reveals the five cores with masses ranging from 2.5–9.2 Me. The results show that the brightest peak, Peak 1, is an HCHII region with an excitation temperature of : 12000 K, an electron density of 3.4×107 cm3, and a radius of 14 au. The central object is estimated to be a B0.5 star. The class II 6.7 GHz CH3OH maser coincides with Peak 1, implying class II CH3OH maser is associated with a later evolutionary stage of star formation. Using KaVA and KVN observation, we detect the class I 44 and 95 GHz CH3OH masers near the weakest peak, Peak 5. We successfully imaged class I 95 GHz CH3OH masers with VLBI for the first time. In Peak 5, the high-velocity SiO emission also exists. The continuum emission can be modelled with grey-body dust emission with Td∼30 K, and the molecular species are poor near Peak 5, suggesting Peak 5 is in an early stage of star formation.
