5 Freeze- out and dynamical Eme scales t ambipolar x(e) yr / n H yr t free fall = 3π 32Gρ / n H yr t freeze out = 10 9 /n H yr 1 αn d πa d 2 v t (Walmsley 1991; Bergin & Tafalla 2007)

6 Evidence of freeze- out: the missing mass Using CO observaeons: 2.3 M! lost to view (out of 8 M! ) Color: dust emission CO hole dust peak 0.05 ly Molecules freeze out onto dust grains in the center of pre- stellar cores Dust grain

7 Pre- stellar cores: freeze- out & deuterium fraceonaeon Color: dust emission (Ward- Thompson et al. 1999)_ Color: N 2 H + (1-0); contour: N 2 D + (2-1) N 2 D + (2-1) peaks at dust peak Caselli et al Caselli et al N 2 D + /N 2 H + ~ (Crapsi et al. 2005; Pagani et al. 2007) NH 2 D/NH 3 ~ (Shah & Wooden 2001; Crapsi et al. 2007) D 2 CO/H 2 CO ~ (Bacmann et al. 2003) DCN/HCN ~ (Turner 2001) DNC/HNC ~ (Hirota et al. 2003) DCO + /HCO + ~ 0.04 (Butner et al. 1995; Caselli et al. 2002) c- C 3 D 2 /c- C 3 H 2 ~ (Spezzano et al. 2013) N 2 H + (1-0) peaks away from dust peak "# D-fraction increases toward core center N 2 D + /N 2 H + ~ 0.2
