What is Multitransitional observations of the CS core of L673 about?

A multitransitional study with the BIMA interferometric array was carried out toward the starless core found in the L673 region, in order to study the small-size structure of the cores detected with previous single--dish observations, which provides us with a test of the predictions of the chemical model of Taylor et al. (1996; 1998). We detected emission in the CS (2-1), N2H+ (1-0), and HCO+ (1-0) lines. Several clumps of size ~0.08 pc were found for each line distributed all over the region where previous single-dish emission was found (Morata et al. 1997). Each molecular transition traces differently the clump distribution, although in some cases the detected clumps are coincident. The distribution of the N2H+ emission and the single-dish NH3 emission are coincident and compatible with an origin in the same gas. The large fraction of missing flux measured for the CS (2-1) transition can be explained if the cloud is formed by a clumpy and heterogeneous medium. Four positions were selected to derive the abundance ratios [N2H+/CS] and [HCO+/CS] from the molecular column density determinations, and to compare them with the values predicted by the chemical model. The model was able t
