Fig. 2

Critical points (bullet) and triple points (Y) of common molecules in the ISM. As for H2 in Fig. 1, the sublimation curves cross interstellar pressure conditions very steeply in pressure a few K below their triple point. For example, CO should essentially be frozen below ~ 20 K, so unable to emit rotation lines.
