Abstract: (arXiv)
We present results from SMA observations of the star forming region Cepheus A-East at ~340 GHz (875 micron) with 0.7'' - 2'' resolution. At least four compact submm continuum sources have been detected, as well as a rich forest of hot core line emission. Two kinematically, chemically, and thermally distinct regions of molecular emission are present in the vicinity of the HW2 thermal jet, both spatially distinct from the submm counterpart to HW2. We propose that this emission is indicative of multiple protostars rather than a massive disk as reported by Patel et al. (2005).Note:
