| contents | As part of the IRAM NOEMA Large Program SOLIS, we imaged the protostellar sources SVS13-A and SVS13-B in SiO, SO, CS, and CH3OH at a spatial resolution of 2"-3" (600-900 au). The CS and SO emission traces the 5000 au envelope that hosts the SVS13-A and VLA3 young stellar objects, and CH3OH probes the compact hot corino associated with SVS13-A. In addition, CS blue-shifted emission reveals a molecular shell in the direction of the jet driven by SVS13-A that is revealed by high-velocity SiO, SO and low-velocity H_2 emission. We also imaged the protostellar jet driven by SVS13-B in SiO, and in SO, CS, and CH3OH for the first time as well. The molecules peak at different distances from the driving source: SiO(2-1) peaks at about 1600 au, and SO(2_3-1_2), CS(2--1) and CH3OH(2_k,k-1_k,k) peak at about 2000-2850 au. Moreover, SiO(2-1) emits at larger distances than SiO(5--4), indicating a lower excitation at a larger distance from the protostar.
The multi-species observations revealed a stratified chemical structure in the jet of SVS13-B. A jet-like component with a transversal size < 450 au is traced by SiO, which is efficiently formed in high-velocity shocks (> 25 km/s) by sputtering and vaporisation of the grain cores and mantles. A slower and wider (transversal size of about 750 au) component is probed by methanol, which is released from dust mantles at lower shock velocities (< 10 km/s). The SO and CS emission traces an intermediate component with respect to the components probed by SiO and CH3OH. High spatial resolution imaging (down to 10 au) of the jet of SVS13-B in multiple species will aid in reconstructing the chemistry of shocked material in protostellar jets. |
