CSO AND CARMA OBSERVATIONS OF L1157. II. CHEMICAL COMPLEXITY IN THE SHOCKED OUTFLOW

ABSTRACT L1157, a molecular dark cloud with an embedded Class 0 protostar possessing a bipolar outflow, is an excellent source for studying shock chemistry, including grain-surface chemistry prior to shocks, and post-shock, gas-phase processing. The L1157-B1 and B2 positions experienced shocks at an estimated ∼2000 and 4000 years ago, respectively. …
