Notes. Column densities for the assumed source size and upper limit abundance ratios for methylamine, derived from the 22−21 line assuming Trot = 120 K. The values for NH2CHO and CH3OH where taken from Bisschop et al. (2007) and Isokoski et al. (2013). The upper limits of NH2CHO were determined by our own re-analysis of the Bisschop et al. (2007) data and taken from the appendix of Isokoski et al. (2013).

(*)

Column density calculated for the 82 − 81 line.
