4 Water Origin in Molecular Outflows Orion BN/KLHigh-T shock chemistry Supersonic flows compress and heat the surrounding material and change the chemistry shocks with velocities between 15 and 30 km/s will produce large amounts of water vapor (Kaufmann & Neufeld 1996) O + H 2 OH + H OH + H 2 H 2 O + H Grain surface evaporation Grain-grain collisions and sputtering in shocks can vaporize mantles

5 CSO HDO 464 GHz Emission in Orion BN/KL T A * (K) V LSR (km/s) Offset in Arc-Seconds Plateau (18km/s flow): X(H 2 O) ~ 4 x 10 -6 (Persson et al. 2007) HDO/H 2 O ~ 0.005

6 3 Stage Chemical Model Pre-Shock T gas = T dust = 10 - 30 K 10 6 years Shock v s = 10 - 40 km/s T gas = 500 - 3000 K T dust = 10, 500 K 100 years Post-Shock T gas = T dust = 30 K 10 6 years Stage 1Stage 2 Stage 3 Bergin, Neufeld, & Melnick 1998 Kaufmann & Neufeld 1996 constant density visual extinction

7 shock post-shock Outflow age ~ 3000 years with 20 km/s, 0.04pc

8 shock post-shock Outflow age ~ 3000 years with 20 km/s, 0.04pc

9 Enhanced water abundance will persist for ~10 5 yrs, whereupon water freezes onto grain surfaces Two cases: (1) all the shocked water is produced by shock chemistry via gas-phase reactions of O and OH with H 2 (2) all atomic oxygen is locked on grains in the form of H 2 O, which then evaporates from the grain surfaces when shocked. Observed water abundance in Orion BN/KL low-velocity outflows can be produced in shocks (with shock velocity ~20 km/s and preshock gas temperature ~ 20 K), without grain evaporation contributions Summary
