Notes. R0 is the flattening radius within the core, n0(H2) is the central density of each core, ISRFHabing is the ISRF of the core at FUV given in multiples of the Habing flux – i.e. 1.6  ×  10-3 erg s-1 cm-2 (Habing 1968), τθ = 90°/τθ = 0° is the ratio of optical depths at θ = 90° and at θ = 0° and F500   μm is the flux density of each core at 500 μm. The model temperature is the range of temperatures in the core calculated from the model, and the SED temperature was calculated from single-temperature greybody fitting. The model mass was calculated using κ = 0.05 cm2 g-1 at 500 μm (Ossenkopf & Henning 1994). The two SED masses were calculated using the method of Hildebrand (1983), the SED temperature and the flux density at 500 μm (see Sect. 4.1). The difference in ISRFs, , was calculated from the model (see Sect. 4.3). Lmax is the maximum luminosity of a star that could be embedded in each core (see Sect. 4.4).
