Notes. Col. 4 gives the maximum of the desorption energy (Edes,max) (K) obtained with the best-fit pre-exponential factor A values (s−1) for NH2CHO, NH2 CH3, and other astrophysical relevant molecules (NH2OH, CH3 OH, H2 CO, and H2O) taken from the literature. For a comparison, Col. 5 gives the desorption energies (Edes,max) of all the molecules calculated with the typical pre-exponential factor A = 1012 s−1 for various grain surfaces, using Eq. (7) of flux desorption (A1 e E1,deskBT = A2eE2,deskBT), and the values of A and Edes,max in Col. 4.
