Notes.

(a)

If different from the interclump medium radiation field.

(b)

Observed line ratios, typically interpreted as density diagnostics.

(c)

For these sources the PDR is illuminated by a cluster of stars, in the spectral type column we have indicated the hottest star detected in the literature (e.g., Hoffmeister et al. 2008 for M17 and De Pree et al. 1997 for W49A).

(d)

For S 106 and IRAS 23133+6050 we quote the Interclump G0 and n values indicated using the combinations of [O i] 63, 145 μm, [C ii] 158 μm and the total FIR flux reported in rows 34 of Table 5. The dense phase (clump) values arising from the average of the high-J CO lines and the cooling lines/FIR flux (rows 78 in Table 5).
