Notes. The evolutionary stage is determined by the bolometric
temperature, Tbol. The horizontal line separates
Class 0 and Class I sources, using Tbol = 70 K as criterion for
separation (Chen et al. 1995). The envelope is
characterised by a power-law density distribution with volume density at the inner
edge, nH,0, inner radius, r0, envelope
radius renv, and power-law exponent
α (Eq.
(1)). The overall column density
along the line-of-sight from the envelope edge towards the core centre is denoted by
NH, whereas
represents the column density in the
water-freezeout zone, i.e., regions where water is mostly in icy form (see Sect. 3.2 for more details). Ns -
H2O is the observed water ice column density
(Boogert et al. 2008; Zasowski et al. 2009; Aikawa et al.
2012). The abbreviations for the water transition lines are: (o0) ortho
ground state H2O
110−101; (p0) para ground state
H2O
111−000; (p1) H2O
202−111; (p2) H2O
211−202. The bullet symbol (•) indicates that this transition has
been observed. ; Water ice column densities are from
Envelope parameters from Kristensen et al. (2012)
