Notes.Starting from the left, the first column represents the gas density; T is the temperature of the source; the third column shows whether the model accounts (ON) or not (OFF) for the effects due to non-thermal desorption; f(c-C2H4O) and f(mc-C2H4O) are the fractional abundances of ethylene oxide relative to hydrogen nuclei in the gas-phase and on the grain surface, respectively. The m before the molecular formula stands for mantle.
