Chemical differentiation in the inner envelope of a young high-mass protostar associated with Class II methanol maser emission
Abstract
We present a case study of a single high-mass protostar associated with an infrared quiet massive clump selected from the ATLASGAL survey. The thermal dust emission reveals a single collapsing object associated with a prominent molecular outflow. We detect bright emission from a torsionally excited state transition of CH3OH offset from the protostar that is well explained by shocks at the transition from the infalling envelope onto an accretion disk.
