Figure 8: Upper panel: abundance ratio of C2H6 relative to C2H2 versus heliocentric distance. The solid line is the mean value derived in this work, the dotted lines show the associated error. The values determined by Dello Russo et al. (2001) are displayed for comparison. Lower panel: evolution of the abundance ratios of C3H4 to C2H2 and C2H6 vs. heliocentric distance, the dotted lines are the derived mean values. |

Figure 9: Temperature ranges for the formation processes of C2H2, C2H6 and C3H4. The numbers in the boxes are referenced in the text. 1 and 2 denote areas with formation on grain surfaces (the solid part in box 2 is less effective than the dotted part), 3, 5, and 6 denote formation in the gas-phase. 4 shows an enrichment by trapping in amorphous water ice. The dashed box shows the likely range of formation temperatures. |
