Column densities and upper limit of AAN detection in various astrophysical environments.

Column density (molecule cm^-2)	HH 46	NGC7538	W33A

N(H₂O)^a	8.0 × 10¹⁸	6.8 × 10¹⁸	9.0 × 10¹⁸
N_limit(AAN)/N(H₂O)^b (%)	6	7	9
N(CO₂)/N(H₂O)^a (%)	32	24	16
N(CH₃OH)/N(H₂O)^a (%)	7	7	22

Boogert et al. (2004).

^(b)

N_limit(AAN): detection limit of AAN, assuming the S/N of the ISO satellite is 40 times lower than ours. N_limit(AAN) = N_{limit lab}(AAN) × 40 = 5 × 10¹⁷ molecule cm^-2.
