Wing intensity ratio between the observed lines and the CO J = 2–1 transition (from previous works) in the well-studied sources CRL 618, CRL 2688, and OH 231.8+4.2; see Table 2. A comparison between these ratios and estimates from our simple, general models reveals values of the characteristic temperature compatible with estimates from detailed models (see text). Squares (continuous line) represent 12CO data and triangles (dashed lines) show 13CO data. Each rotational transition is represented by the energy (in K) of its upper level.
