Notes. (a) Range of upper energy levels of all transitions in our frequency coverage with an Aij above 10−4 s−1, except for methanol and methyl formate, where the lowest energy transition detected has an Aij of 9.87 × 10−5 s−1 and 2.68 × 10−5 s−1, respectively.(b)The label e corresponds to the inner envelope, s to the accretion shocks, and c to the innermost central regions that could have contribution from both the outflow and the accretion disk. (c) Spectroscopic parameters are more uncertain at this frequency range (Ordu et al. 2019). (d) The identification is based on only one to two unblended transitions. (e)Formic acid contains less than 6 atoms, it is, however, the simplest organic acid and thus will be discussed together with the listed interstellar COMs.
