Abstract

As part of the DIGIT key program, we observed GSS30-IRS1, a Class I object located in Ophiuchus (d=125 pc), with Herschel-PACS. More than 70 lines were detected: CO lines of $J=14{\rightarrow}13$ to $41{\rightarrow}40$, several $H_2O$ lines of Eu=100 to 1500 K, 16 OH lines, and two atomic [OI] lines at 63 and 145 ${\mu}m$. All lines, except for [OI], were detected only at the central spaxel of $9.4^{\prime\prime}{\times}9.4^{\prime\prime}$ while the [OI] emission is extended along the NE-SW direction. One interesting feature in GSS30-IRS1 is that the continuum is extended beyond PSF, unlike the line emission. For detail analysis, we apply the non-LTE LVG model, RADEX as well as simple rotational diagrams to the detected line fluxes. We will discuss about the physical conditions around GSS30-IRS1, learned by the line flux analysis.
