THE 2014 KIDA NETWORK FOR INTERSTELLAR CHEMISTRY

Abstract

Chemical models used to study the chemical composition of the gas and the\nices in the interstellar medium are based on a network of chemical reactions\nand associated rate coefficients. These reactions and rate coefficients are\npartially compiled from data in the literature, when available. We present in\nthis paper kida.uva.2014, a new updated version of the kida.uva public\ngas-phase network first released in 2012. In addition to a description of the\nmany specific updates, we illustrate changes in the predicted abundances of\nmolecules for cold dense cloud conditions as compared with the results of the\nprevious version of our network, kida.uva.2011.\n
