Abstract

Abstract: Recent observations revealed that there is a difference in the spatial distribution of both nitrogen and oxygen bearing species towards massive star forming regions. These differences can be explained under different temperature regimes in hot cores. In this study, we attempt to model the chemistry of few nitrogen species; namely, vinyl cyanide (CH2 CHCN), ethyl cyanide (CH3 CH2 CN), and formamide (NH2 CHO), using gas-grain chemical models. A special attention is given to the role and efficiency of surface chemistry as it is suggested to play one of the main key roles in manufacturing these species.
