Abstract

Calculations of molecular number densities as a function of optical depth in selected umbral, penumbral and photospheric models predict penumbral enhancement of diatomic molecules containing carbon atoms, strong umbral enhancement of oxides, and moderate umbral enhancement of hydrides. The role of CO formation in an oxygen rich atmosphere is discussed.
