Scientific paper

Molecular cloud cores are often found to contain regions with high abundances of organic molecules such as formaldehyde, methanol, ethanol, dimethyl ether, and methyl formate. First we will review the status of observations of these molecules in a number of sources and discuss some of the limitations of present techniques. Then we will discuss systematic factors involved in the conversion of column densities into fractional abundances and introduce an independent method of calibrating that conversion. Finally we will present recent results from high spatial resolution observations of W3(OH).
