Modeling the Lukewarm Corino Phase: Is L1527 Unique?
Sakai et al. have observed long-chain unsaturated hydrocarbons and cyanopolyynes in the low-mass star-forming region L1527, and have attributed this result to a gas-phase ion-molecule chemistry, termed warm carbon-chain chemistry, which occurs during and after the evaporation of methane from warming grains. The source L1527 is an envelope surrounding a …
