名词 n.

英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The warm, dense inner region of the envelope of young stellar objects where complex organic molecules are located.
    — The definition of “hot core” used for massive protostars implies the presence of a relatively large amount of warm and dense gas[…] In order to make clear that hot cores of low- and high-mass protostars are, however, substantially different in the amount of material involved, we use hereafter the term “hot corino” to identify the warm inner regions of the envelope surrounding the low-mass protostars.
