The results of Model B (the standard model). (a) The simulated fractional abundances, X, of CH3OH, CH3NH2, and CH2NH in the gas phase are shown by red, blue, and green solid lines, respectively. The vertical axis represent the ages of the core since the beginning of warm-up. We present the CH3NH2 abundance predicted by Model B’, where we switch off the series of hydrogenation processes of HCN and CH2NH to form CH3NH2, by the purple line. The dotted line represent the sum of the fractional abundances in the grain mantles and on the grain surfaces. (b) The gas-phase CH3NH2/CH3OH ratio. With horizontal lines, we compare the observed CH3NH2/CH3OH ratio of our sources. The abundance ratios are calculated from Table 5.
