/ Abstract
We study structures of the $0^+$ states of $^{13}_Λ$C within the framework of $α+α+α+Λ$ four-body orthogonality condition model with the Gaussian expansion method. We obtain five $0^+$ states of $^{13}_Λ$C and compare them with the low-lying four $0^+$ states of $^{12}$C. We find that the $0_1^+$, $0_2^+$ and $0_4^+$ states correspond to the $0_1^+$, $0_2^+$ and $0_4^+$ states of $^{12}$C, respectively. We also find that both the $0_3^+$ and $0_5^+$ states have analogous nature to the $0_3^+$ state of $^{12}$C, where the additional $Λ$ particle couples with $^8$Be cluster and one $α$ cluster, in the $0_3^+$ state of $^{12}$C, respectively. The former is then shown to have an elongated $^9_Λ$Be$(0_1^+) + α$ cluster structure with a higher nodal behaviour for their relative wave function, and the latter have a dilute three-body gas consisting of $2α+^5_Λ$He clusters.
