Notes. See text for the conditions used for the calculations.

(a)

3σ column density limit.

(b)

Beam averaged H2 column density in a 44″ beam obtained from the model of Kristensen et al. (2012).

(c)

Computed using the average C18O column density and abundance ratios of CO/H2 = 10-4 and CO/C18O = 550 (Wilson & Rood 1994).
