Notes. Given frequencies refer to the local standard of rest (LSR) VLSR = 0 km s-1 frequency scale. All errors are standard deviations obtained from Gaussian fits, except those in the last column. The Tmb values and errors were derived by combining the values of Cols. 2 and 5. Outflow components (see Turner et al. 1985; Feruglio et al. 2010; Aalto et al. 2012; Bolatto et al. 2013), not apparent in the weaker isotopic lines, are not included in the fits. For potential calibration errors, see Sect. 3.6.2. Because of the large bandwidths of the spectra, yielding potentially complex velocity-frequency correlations, frequencies and not velocities are emphasized. For the CO lines, however, optical (cz) VLSR values are also given, mainly to show the relative importance of the two main spectral features in NGC 253. Since each CN component represents a group of hyperfine components of different strengths, no velocities are given in this case.
