Notes. Rotational temperatures of H2O and OH within the ladder are calculated using at least 10 and 3 lines / doublets, respectively, and are shown in boldface. Non-detections are marked with dots. For OH temperatures determined using only 2 transitions, the associated error is not given and marked with “-”.

(a)

Size of the H2O emitting region assuming that all H2O lines trace the same physical component (see Sect. 4.2.2.).

(b)

Rotational temperature of OH calculated using only the OH ladder transitions, see Fig. 9 and Sect. 4.2.3.

(c)

Rotational temperature of OH calculated using all lines detected in absorption.
