Notes. 

(a)

This chemistry file does not include deuterated species.

(b)

Uses expressions based on Mathis et al. (1983) and Black (1994) rather than Draine (1978).

(c)

This means that no additional star is present.

(d)

Thermal balance is computed for each point in the cloud, using the temperatures given by the .pfl file as initial guesses.

(e)

Use the Federman et al. (1979, FGK) approximation for the H2 lines in the UV.

(f)

Use the values compiled by Le Bourlot et al. (1999) with reactive collisions from Schofield (1967).

(g)

See Table 4 of Le Petit et al. (2006), which quotes values from Fitzpatrick & Massa (1990) for the extinction curve, Bohlin (1978); Rachford et al. (2002) for CD, Mathis (1996) for the dust albedo, Weingartner & Draine (2001) for ⟨cosθ⟩, Mathis et al. (1977) for the grain size distribution parameters.

(h)

See for instance Cardelli et al. (1989).

(j)

Do not couple to the DUSTEM code (Compiègne et al. 2011).

(k)

Energy released by H2 formation on dust grains is equally split between grain excitation, H2 kinetic energy and internal energy. See Sect. 6.1.2 in Le Petit et al. (2006) for details.

(l)

See Appendix E5 in Le Petit et al. (2006).
