Parameters of the chemical simulations.

Simulation label n(H2) (cm−3) TgasTdust (K) AV (mag) Chemical network
S1 106 7, 7 30 Full chemical network with C and N fractionation, and
spin-state chemistry
S2 104 10, 10 10 As in S1
S2_3C 104 10, 10 10 Only carbon fractionation, no spin-state chemistry
S2_3C_alt 104 10, 10 10 As in S2_3C, but omitting the newly included C isotopic
exchange reactions displayed in Table 1
S2_C20 104 10, 10 10 Chemical networks of C20
S3 5 × 102 20, 15 1 As in S1
S3_ss 5 × 102 20, 15 1 As in S1, but with isotope-selective N2 and CO self-shielding(a)

Notes. The cosmic ray ionization rate is fixed to ζ = 1.3 × 10−17 s−1 in all simulations. (a)The assumed values for the N2 and CO column densities are 1013 cm−2 and 9 × 1014 cm−2, respectively (see Sect. 4.2). N2 and CO self-shielding effects are neglected in all other simulations. H2 self-shielding is however taken into account in all simulations, with the column density calculated from the relation N(H2)/AV = 1021 cm−2 mag−1 and the self-shielding factor calculated following Draine & Bertoldi (1996, their Eq. (37)).
