| Abstract: | A survey has been made of 27 Galactic star-forming regions in the (CH3CN) 6K–5K, 5K–4K, and 8K–7K lines of methyl cyanide (CH3CN) at 110, 92, and 147 GHz. Twenty-five sources were detected at 110 GHz, nineteen at 92 GHz, and three at 147 GHz. The strongest CH3CN emission arises in hot cores in regions of massive star formation. The abundance of CH3CN in these objects exceeds 10?9 as a consequence of grain mantle evaporation. Weaker CH3CN lines were found in a number of sources. These can arise in either warm (30–50 K), dense (>104 cm?3) clouds or in hot regions with cooler gas. |
