Notes.

(a)

Transitions include ortho-NH3 (K = 3n) and para-NH3 (K ≠ 3n).

(b)

Energy above the ground reported from the JPL database.

(c)

Synthesized beams in images made with the CASA task CLEAN with a robust parameter set to 0.5.

(d)

RMS noise in a 0.4 km s-1 channel without primary beam correction. After primary beam correction, the noise level increases by up to 25%.

(e)

The JK= 132–131 line of CH3OH was detected in the same baseband as the NH3 (9, 9) line.

(f)

The CH3CN (2-1) line was observed in a separated baseband paired with the NH3 (10, 10) line, but was not detected.
