摘要：
G10.21-0.31 is a 70 mu m dark high-mass starless core (M > 300 M (circle dot) within r < 0.15 pc) identified in the Spitzer, Herschel, and APEX continuum surveys, and is believed to harbor the initial stages of high-mass star formation. We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and Submillimeter Array observations to resolve the internal structure of this promising high-mass starless core. Sensitive high-resolution ALMA 1.3 mm dust continuum emission reveals three cores of mass ranging within 11-18 M (circle dot), characterized by a turbulent fragmentation. Cores 1, 2, and 3 represent a coherent evolution of three different stages, characterized by outflows (CO and SiO), gas temperature (H2CO), and deuteration (N2D+/N2H+). We confirm the potential for formation of high-mass stars in G10.21 and explore the evolution path of high-mass star formation. Yet, no high-mass prestellar core is present in G10.21. This suggests a dynamical star formation where cores grow in mass over time.
