RADEX non-LTE modeling for NH3. a) the integrated intensity ratio
as a function of nH2 and Tkin for a
given para-NH3 abundance per velocity gradient
[X]/(dv/dr) of 4.4 × 10-11 pc
(km s-1)-1. b) the integrated intensity ratio
as a function of
[X]/(dv/dr) and Tkin for a
given density of 105 cm-3. In both panels, the levels go from 0.1 to 1 by
0.1. c) the integrated intensity ratio
as a function of nH2 and Tkin for a
given para-NH3 abundance per velocity gradient
[X]/(dv/dr) of 4.4 × 10-11 pc
(km s-1)-1. The levels start from 0.1 to 0.6 by 0.1. The
red solid line and the dashed lines represent the observed line ratio as well as its
lower and upper limit in Figs. 3a–c. d)
the integrated intensity ratio
and as a function of nH2 and Tkin for a
given ortho-NH3 abundance per velocity gradient
[X]/(dv/dr) of 5.6 × 10-11 pc
(km s-1)-1. The levels start from 0.05 to 0.2 by 0.05. The
observed line ratio
= (0.28 ± 0.08) is beyond the modeled
range, indicating that the kinetic temperature is either higher than 300 K or that
NH3 (6, 6)
is affected by population inversion.
