... radiation[*]
For low-excitation lines this may not be entirely correct, but we estimate that the additional error introduced will be no more than 20% for $T_{\rm ex} \sim 10$ K.

... meanings[*]
As $\int{{T_{\rm R}}}{\rm d}v$ has been approximated by $T_{\rm R}$$\Delta v$ in this formula, a factor of $\sim $1.06, which relates the integrated intensity of a Gaussian profile to the FWHM, has been neglected.
