Abundances with respect to total hydrogen nuclei.

To date, the cis conformer of HCOOH has only been detected towards the Orion Bar PDR (Cuadrado et al. 2016), therefore, we only provide the abundances of the trans conformer.

Low-mass protostar (hot corino) IRAS 16293-2422. The abundances are computed for a N(H2) = 2 × 1023 cm−2. Abundances averaged over a ~20″ beam (van Dishoeck et al. 1995).
