CHDOHCHO 7.1 × 1015 0.10 (9.6)
CH2ODCHO 3.2 × 1015 0.047 (21)

Notes.

(a)

Column density of the isotopologue corrected for the vibrational contributions at 300 K.

(b)

Column density of isotopologue relative to that of the main species. The number in parentheses gives the inverse ratio: traditionally the first number is quoted for measurements of the deuterated species, while the number in parentheses is typically quoted for 12C/13C measurements.

(c)

The 13CH2OHCHO and CH2OH13CHO fitted with a common column density for both owing to the relatively low number of lines seen for the two species.
