Notes. 1. Column densities and abundances in italic font are obtained at the temperatures listed in Table 6, under CTEX assumption. 2. Column densities and abundances in roman font are obtained at mean Tex,CO, with LTE assumption. 3. Uncertainties on the measured values are determined from hyperfine multiplet fit to τ0Δυ and Tex or Tex,CO. 4. “” denotes a species whose distribution is less extended than the 30 m primary beam (filling factor f< 0.5).
