摘要
We present a detailed chemical model of a photon-dominated region produced in a dense molecular cloud exposed to an intense far-ultraviolet radiation field. We use it to illustrate the gas-phase processes that lead to the production of atomic and molecular species in the several distinct zones that occur in the cloud. We identify molecular diagnostics of photon-dominated chemistry in dense molecular clouds.
