Table 2.

Models discussed in this paper, along with descriptions of the chemical network and the cooling species included in each case.

Network Description Cooling species included
A1 Full gas-phase and grain–surface reaction networks described in Sect. 2.2, but considering only species with up to five atoms, ~43 500 (42 000 + 1510) reactions in total 12CO, 13CO, C, C+, O, oH2O, pH2O, NO, HCN, HNC
A1alt As A1, but with some coolants removed 12CO, 13CO, C, C+, O, oH2O, pH2O
B1 Simple chemical network based on the one used by Nelson & Langer (1999; see Appendix A), no surface chemistry except for the formation of H2 12CO, 13CO, C, C+, O, H2Oa
B2 As B1, but with more surface chemistry (see Appendix A) 12CO, 13CO, C, C+, O, H2Oa
B2alt As B2, but including photodesorptionb of grain–surface CO and H2O 12CO, 13CO, C, C+, O, H2Oa

Notes.

(a)

We assume that the H2O o/p ratio is unity, and use the data available in LAMDA (Schöier et al. 2005) for oH2O and pH2O.

(b)

Photodesorption is not included in the other models. The assumed photodesorption yields are 2.7 × 10−3 for CO (Öberg et al. 2009b) and 1.0 × 10−3 for H2O (Öberg et al. 2009a).
