Notes.

(a)

N(CO)beam is the CO column density diluted by the filling factor (φA).

(b)

N(CO)model is the CO column density derived in the LVG models.

(c)

MH2 is calculated with ), where r is the effective radius of the beam, 412pc.xCO is the CO to H2 abundance, 8 × 10-5 (Frerking et al. 1982). The helium mass is included in MH2 by adopting a factor of 1.36.
