Notes. Column 4: Obtained from Eq. (1). Column 5: Para-H2CO column densities adopting N(C18O)/N(para-H2CO) = 100 (see Sect. 3.1). Column 6: H2 column density derived from C18O with X(C18O/H2) = 4.2 × 10-8 (Frerking et al. 1982) and using the factor 3 correction explained in Sect. 3.1. Column 7: H2 column density obtained from 12CO(1–0) with a conversion factor of XCO = 4 × 1020 cm-2 (K km s-1)-1 (see Sect. 3.1). Column 9: Tkin derived with the density given in Col. (8).
