Fig. 3
Combined density profile (grey area) of all the dense cores included in the model of Sgr B2(M). The average critical density of the transitions listed in Table 1 is shown as an horizontal blue line. The vertical red lines at 4.25 × 103 and 104 au indicate up to which distance from the center of the cores the LTE approximation is valid.
