A sensitivity study of the neutral-neutral reactions C + C$_{\sf 3}$ and C + C$_{\sf 5}$ in cold dense interstellar clouds
Chemical networks used for models of interstellar clouds contain many reactions, some of them with poorly determined rate coefficients and/or products. In this work, we report a method for improving the predictions of molecular abundances using sensitivity methods and ab initio calculations. Based on the chemical network osu.2003, we used …
