... Line radiative transfer in C 18 O, HCO + , and CS lines is considered in a spherically symmetric chemo-dynamical model of a starless core, evolution of which is driven by the ambipolar diffusion.

Comparison between modelled and observed spectra suggests that L1544 has flattened structure and is observed at some inclination. ...
