Notes.

a

Average density along the line of sight.

b

Gas column density converted to H2 column density using the following conversion factors: NH2=106 × N(13CO); and NH2=107 × N(C18O).

c

For this source, the lines are an assembly of three components, with strongly asymmetric shapes, which are difficult to analyse separately.
