Parameters of the reference models.

Model name log n (cm-3) log G0

M1 3.0 3.0
M2 3.0 5.0
M3 5.5 3.0
M4 5.5 5.0

Notes. These are identical to the ones in Meijerink & Spaans (2005). M1 and M2 correspond to low density clouds in galactic centers in the presence of a starburst event, whereas M3 and M4 correspond to much denser clouds where excitation of high density gas tracers such as HCN is possible.
