Notes.For the UCL_CHEM code, we show the results at t = 104 years. For the observed abundances and the Meudon PDR results, we report mean values of the abundances, while for the UCL_CHEM results, we report the value at a given AV, and assume that these values are relatively constant in the respective layers.

(a)

Except for CH, where the uncertainty is driven by the excitation temperature, the abundance uncertainty is driven by the H2 gas reference, and is a factor of 2.

(b)

The f value indicates the percentage of CO on the icy mantles at the end of Phase I.
