Notes.

(a)

The vLSR values used for the two sets of observations are different. These values have been adjusted to be on the same vLSR scale.

(b)

Temperature values reported in parentheses for SO2 were assumed and not determined through a rotation diagram analysis.

(c)

Compact Ridge.

(d)

Hot Core.

(e)

Extended Emission.

(f)

Plateau.
