Notes. Sources where the fit could not be performed are excluded. The H2 densities n and column densities N were measured by the method described in Appendix F, which can only be made for the sources where both the 303 → 202 and the 505 → 404 lines have been detected. To facilitate comparison between IRS7B and the other sources, only the lines covered by the source survey are included, which explains why IRS7B shows different values here and in Table 3.

(a)

Rotational temperatures of the transitions with Ju = 3.

(b)

Rotational temperatures of the transitions with Ju = 5.

(c)

Weighted average of the two previous, if they are both measured, otherwise the same as the only one measured.

(d)

The total H2CO column density assuming an ortho-to-para ratio of 1.6.

(e)

For these sources, the column density and H2 density could not be constrained from the 303 → 202/505 → 404 ratio.
