Abundance of various COMs as a function of distance based on different source luminosities at different ages. While the chosen age is arbitrary, it is consistent with the fact that a more massive protostar evolves faster than the less massive one. Typically, the abundance remains unchanged near the centre and decreases farther out. In the case of a more massive protostellar core, the abundance extends over a larger volume.
