Molecular abundance ratios as a tracer of accelerated collapse in regions of high mass star formation?
Recent observations suggest that the behaviour of tracer species such as N_2H+ and CS is significantly different in regions of high and low mass star formation. In the latter, N_2H+ is a good tracer of mass, while CS is not. Observations show the reverse to be true in high-mass star formation region...
