Notes.Statistical uncertainties are shown in brackets after the respective values in units of the last significant digits.

(a)

Mid-time of the observations recorded as decimal days in May 2004.

(b)

CH3OH transitions marked in boldface indicate blended lines.

(c)

The line frequencies were obtained from the latest online edition of the JPL Molecular Spectroscopy Catalog (Pickett et al. 1998).

(d)

Line intensities and production rates of H2CO measured with the CTSB are derived 3-σ upper limits.

(e)

The velocity offsets are computed with respect to the optocenters of the complete components for blended lines.

(f)

Production rates derived for a gas kinetic temperature of 54   K, expansion velocity of 0.73   km s-1, electron density scaling factor of xne = 0.2, and a pointing offset of 2′′.
