Notes. 

(a)

De Vicente et al. (1997) based on CH3CN J = 5–4, 8 − 7, 12 − 11 lines.

(b)

Bayet et al. (2004), based on 12CO(J = 3–2, 4 − 3, 6 − 5, 7 − 6) and 13CO(J = 3–2).

(c)

Median values based on three different positions (Naylor et al. 2010). Obtained from multiple species radiative transfer modeling of the lines of CS, HCO+, HCN, HNC, and C34S.

(d)

Greve et al. (2009), based on HCN and CS lines.

(e)

Zhu et al. (2003), based on CO and 13CO 2 − 1 and 3 − 2 lines.
