Notes. is the density at the CO emission peak, n0 is the maximum density, is the visual extinction perpendicular to the line of sight integrated from the edge to the emission peak, is the column density along the line of sight at the emission peak, lPDR is the length along the line of sight, and is the 12CO to H2 abundance ratio at the emission peak. We derive NCO from the RADEX analysis (see Table 2) and NH2 from . The results for the best fit are shown in blue. The table entries in bold face indicate results for physically reasonable lengths along the lines of sight.
