Properties of N2H+ Trace dense and cold gas + N Caselli et al. 1995
Properties of N2H+ Lee et al. (2004): Bonner-Ebert sphere + inside-outside collapse Formation: H3+ + N2 → N2H+ + H2 Destroy(T > 20K): N2H+ + CO → HCO+ + N2
Properties of N2H+ N2H+ + e- → N2 + H or NH (Vigren et al. 2012) Yu et al. 2015 MNRAS Yu et al. 2016 ApJ

Data analysis Data set: 1. MALT90 (~90 GHz) 2. Hi-GAL (70, 160, 250, 350, and 500 μm)
Data analysis Molecular data: MALT90 (Foster et al. 2011) From MALT90 home page

Data analysis SED method using Hi-GAL (70, 160, 250, 350, and 500 μm): (Wang et al. 2015 MNRAS) 1. Remove the background emissions; 2. smooth and rebin to the beam and pixel sizes of 500 μm; 3. SED N(H2) Tdust Where ,
Data analysis SED result: N(H2) Tdust
Data analysis N(H2) Tdust Abundance map
Data analysis
Data analysis Tdust ~ 27 K
Data analysis Compared with chemical models of low-mass star formation: X(N2H+) ~20 K ~30 K Early stage Middle stage Late stage Tdust
Higher resolution observations are needed! Data analysis Three reasons: 1. Beam dilution; core: ~0.1 pc clump: ~1 pc 2. Chemical model may be not accurate; 3. Massive star formation process. Higher resolution observations are needed!
Summary 1. A method to study chemical properties; 2. When the dust temperature is below 27 K, the abundance of N2H+ increases with dust temperature; 3. When the dust temperature is above 27 K, the abundance of N2H+ begins to drop.
