C2H and HC3N in Interstellar Clouds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 August 2015
Extract
A survey for the molecules C2H and HC3N in a variety of interstellar clouds has been completed. Both molecules are very widespread, in cold dark clouds as well as in hot clouds. C2H emission has been mapped in L1534. In cold clouds the fractional abundance X(C2H) is found to be 2-6×10−9. The ratio of abundances X(C2H)/X(HC3N) falls in the range 6-10, consistent with some gas-phase reaction schemes for these molecules.
