Table 1

Strength of the radiation field G0 (Habing 1968), and the [20/30] continuum flux ratio for the regions in Fig. 4.

Region 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Location PDR H ii H ii H ii H ii H ii DW

log (G0) 2.0 2.2 2.3 2.5 2.9 3.3 4.2
[20/30] 0.28 0.20 0.21 0.19 0.22 0.21 0.33

Notes. Region 1 is located partly inside the Horsehead photo-dissociation region (PDR), whereas regions 2–7 are located inside the H ii region. Region 7 is projected on top of the dust wave surrounding σ Ori AB. The [20/30] ratio is insensitive to the increase of G0 inside the H ii region, except in region 7, where the dust reaches thermal equilibrium (see text).
