Abstract:
Submillimeter observations of various simple molecules in the shocked
molecular gas associated with the supernova remnant IC 443 are presented.
CO 3-2 line profiles along the shocked ring are used to constrain the global
kinematics of the region. Searches for other molecules in the shocked
gas have been performed at two positions in clump G and one position in
clump B. High-frequency lines of HCO(+), HCN, HNC, CS, SO, SiO, H2CO
and C2H have been detected, and significant upper limits have been obtained
for various other, more complex molecules. The physical parameters in
the shocked gas have been derived from an analysis of the excitation of
these species. The observed abundances are substantially lower than those
found in one-fluid hydrodynamic shock models with a small H/H2 ratio,
but appear consistent with the limited models in which H/H2 is significant.

Note on table1:
a: upper limits are 2 sigma values in 1 MHz bandwidth
Preshock and shocked emission cannot be distinguished; about 20 % of
the integrated emission is estimated to be due to the preshocked gas.
Note on table3:
DV is kept fixed at 12, 20 and 20 km/s in the fit to those
profiles that show multiple components.
