Notes. The first and second line for each galaxy correspond to the best-fit parameters with fixed nH2 = 104.5 cm-3 and nH2 = 106 cm-3, respectively. Column densities are calculated for a circular beam of 18′′of diameter.

(a,b)

β1 and β2 are the power-law indices for the CO and H2 emissions respectively.

(c,d)

Warm CO and H2 column densities respectively.

(e)

CO abundance relative to H2 in the warm molecular gas.

(f)

Cold CO column density. This value is a lower limit since we assumed optically thin emission for the CO  transition.

(g)

Atomic H density derived from the ro-vibrational H2 transitions.

(h)

Reduced χ2 of the fit. The best χ2 is marked in boldface in the table.

(i)

Cold H2 column density derived from the CO  intensity. We used the conversion factor NH2(cm-2) = 2 × 1020ICOJ = 1 − 0 (K km s-1) (Leroy et al. 2011).
