The Effect of an Inert Solid Reservoir on Molecular Abundances in Dense Interstellar Clouds

The question, what is the role of freeze-out of chemical species in determining the molecular abundances in the interstellar gas is a matter of debate. We investigate a theoretical case of a dense interstellar molecular cloud core by time-dependent modeling of chemical kinetics, where grain surface...
