Star Formation, Deuterium

Scientific paper

Observations of molecular D/H ratios in the ISM can be used to probe physical conditions. In star forming regions, where ice mantles have evaporated releasing the products of grain-surface chemistry, deuterium fractionation can provide valuable information on how species have been processed in the ice. Over the past two years, and several multiply deuterated and some mono-deuterated species have been observed with surprisingly high abundances. We present models of interstellar deuterium chemistry and show how they can be used to interpret recent observations of prestellar cores.
