We present high-resolution images of the submillimeter SiO line emissions of a massive young stellar object Orion Source I using the Atacama Large Millimeter/ Submillimeter Array (ALMA) at band 8. We detected the 464 GHz SiO v=4 J=11-10 line in Source I, which is the first detection of the SiO v=4 line in star-forming regions, together with the 465 GHz 29SiO v=2 J=11-10 and the 428 GHz SiO v=2 J=10-9 lines with a resolution of 50 AU. The 29SiO v=2 J=11-10 and SiO v=4 J=11-10 lines have compact structures with the diameter of <80 AU. The spatial and velocity distribution suggest that the line emissions are associated with the base of the outflow and the surface of the edge-on disk. In contrast, SiO v=2 J=10-9 emission shows a bipolar structure in the direction of northeast-southwest low-velocity outflow with ~200 AU scale. The emission line exhibits a velocity gradient along the direction of the disk elongation. With the assumption of the ring structure with Keplerian rotation, we estimated the lower limit of the central mass to be 7 solar mass and the radius of 12 AU< r <26 AU.

  1. Dust Seeding Molecules in a Massive Protostar -- Detection of TiO in Orion Source I

    astro-ph.GA 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.8 of 10

    TiO is detected for the first time in a star-forming region, traced to the base of the rotating outflow of Orion Source I with a column density implying efficient dust-to-gas conversion.
