Notes. The uncertainties are given in parentheses and correspond to the standard deviations weighted by the error on and on the correction factor for the free-free emission. .

(a)

H2 column densities calculated based on the ALMA data after correction for the primary beam attenuation, for a mean synthesized beam size of ~1.6.

(b)

ALMAdust is in addition corrected for the free-free contribution.

(c)

H2 column densities calculated based on the SMA map smoothed to the ALMA resolution (~1.6).

(d)

H2 column densities calculated based on the SMA map at its original resolution (~0.3)

(*)

The dust emission toward Sgr B2(N1) being optically thick we cannot derive its H2 column density.
