Notes. The first three columns report the transition, frequency, and upper energy level (Eup). The next three columns report the result of the Gaussian fitting: VLSR velocity, FWHM, and velocity-integrated line intensity (Int.). The last column reports the telescope beam at the frequency of the line.

(a)

Discarded line because it is probably contaminated by the molecular cloud (see text, Sect. 4.2).

(b)

Discarded line because it does not satisfy criteria 3 to 5 of Sect. 3.2.

(c)

The HC3N and DC3N line frequencies are the same in the CDMS and JPL database. In contrast, the JPL HC5N line frequencies are systematically overestimated with respect to those of CDMS, giving VLSR shifted by ~1 km s-1 with respect to the VLSR derived for the HC3N and DC3N lines. We therefore used the HC5N line frequencies from the CDMS database.

(d)

We consider the detection of this line to be tentative.
