Original abstract
Meteorite analysis shows that the older solids of the solar system, such as the calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs), have isotopic inhomogeneity. This indicates that the isotopic inhomogeneity could originate from parental molecular clouds. We investigate the evolution of the isotopically heterogeneous molecular cloud cores formed from filament fragmentation using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method. We show that the effect of the variation of isotopic ratio along the minor axes of the filament is smaller than that along the longitudinal axis of the filament due to the filament geometry. Our results also suggest that isotopic inhomogeneities remain in the resulting cores, although the amounts of initial inhomogeneities are reduced by a factor of 100 from those over the initial filament length of 1 pc. This fraction corresponds to 1-10% of the maximum isotopic ratio that the core can acquire from the filament in each model. The origin of the isotopic inhomogeneity of the shells could be attributed to the initial difference in the center-of-mass of shells caused by the turbulent velocity field. Our model indicates that the isotopic inhomogeneity could survive even in the circumstellar disk.
