Abstract | Deuteration is sensitive to environmental conditions in star-forming regions. To investigate NH2D chemistry, we compared the spatial distribution of ortho-NH2D 111s-101a , NH3(1,1), and NH3(2,2) in 12 late-stage massive star-forming regions. By averaging several pixels along the spatial slices of ortho-NH2D 111s-101a , we obtained the deuterium fractionation of NH3. In seven targets, the deuterium fractionation of NH3 shows a decreasing trend with increasing rotational temperature. This trend is less clear in the remaining five sources, likely due to limited spatial resolution. However, when considering all 12 sources together, the anticorrelation between NH3 deuterium fractionation and rotational temperature becomes less significant, suggesting that other physical parameters may influence the fractionation. Additionally, we found that the region of highest deuterium fractionation of NH3 is offset from the NH3 peak in each source, likely because the temperature is higher near the NH3 peaks and NH2D may be depleted from the gas phase as the molecular cloud core evolves, as well as the increased release of CO from grains into the gas phase. |
