The HC$_{3}$N ($J=16-15$; $E_{\\rm {up}}/k = 59.4$ K) line has been detected in all of the target sources, while four CH$_{3}$OH lines ($E_{\\rm {up}}/k = 15.4-36.3$ K) have been detected only in IRAS 03245. Sizes of the HC$_{3}$N distributions ($\\sim 2930-3230$ au) in IRAS 03235 and IRAS 03245 are similar to those of the carbon-chain species in the warm carbon chain chemistry (WCCC) source L1527. The size of the CH$_{3}$OH emission in IRAS 03245 is $\\sim 1760$ au, which is slightly smaller than that of HC$_{3}$N in this source. We compare the CH$_{3}$OH/HC$_{3}$N abundance ratios observed in these sources with predictions of chemical models. We confirm that the observed ratio in IRAS 03245 agrees with the modeled values at temperatures around 30--35 K, which supports the HC$_{3}$N formation by the WCCC mechanism. In this temperature range, CH$_{3}$OH does not thermally desorb from dust grains. Non-thermal desorption mechanisms or gas-phase formation of CH$_{3}$OH seem to work efficiently around IRAS 03245. The fact that IRAS 03245 has the highest bolometric luminosity among the target sources seems to support these mechanisms, in particular the non-thermal desorption mechanisms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-02-20T00:40:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "low-mass young stellar objects", "perseus region", "complex-organic-molecule chemistry", "carbon-chain chemistry", "non-thermal desorption mechanisms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
