Notes. 

(a)

The values are derived from Gaussian fits to the spectra. Given velocities are relative to a heliocentric velocity of cz=1137 kms-1.

(b)

The column density for the (5,5) state is extrapolated from the (2,2) and (4,4) states using Trot = 119 K, while the value for the (0,0) state is extrapolated from the (3,3) state by adopting Trot = 44 K. The total column density, Ntotal, includes the populations of the levels from (0,0) to (6,6). Because relative calibration is excellent up to at least the (4,4) transition, the errors given in parenthesis refer exclusively to the Gaussian fits. For the cumulative column density, Ntotal, however, the given error accounts for the absolute calibration uncertainty (Sect. 2).
