Scientific paper

We have studied the influence of X-rays from a massive young stellar object (YSO) on the chemistry of its own envelope by extending the models of Doty et al. (2002) and Staeuber et al. (2004). The models are applied to the massive star-forming region AFGL 2591 for different X-ray luminosities and plasma temperatures. Enhanced column densities for several species are predicted. In addition we present first detections of CO+ and SO+ toward AFGL 2591. These molecular ions are believed to be high-energy tracers. Herschel-HIFI will be able to observe other tracers like CH and CH+ whereas ALMA is well suited to measure the size and geometry of the emitting region.
