We investigate the ground state of the one-dimensional fermionic system enclosed in a hard-wall trap with attractive contact p-wave interactions. Based on the Bethe ansatz method, the explicit wave function is derived by numerically solving the Bethe ansatz equations for the full physical regimes (−[infinity]<=cF<=0). With the exact wave function some quantities which are important in many-body physics are obtained, including the one-body density matrix and the momentum distribution of the ground state for finite system. It is shown that the shell structure of the density profiles disappears with the increase of the interaction and in the fermionic Tonks-Girardeau limit the density distribution shows the same behavior as that of an ideal Bose gas. However, the one-body density matrix and the momentum distribution exhibit completely different structures compared with their bosonic counterparts.
