On Cosmic-Ray-driven Grain Chemistry in Cold Core Models

Abstract In this paper, we present preliminary results illustrating the effect of cosmic rays on solid-phase chemistry in models of both TMC-1 and several sources with physical conditions identical to TMC-1 except for hypothetically enhanced ionization rates. Using a recent theory for the addition of cosmic-ray-induced reactions to astrochemical models, …
