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
