Left: line profiles of all measured molecular gas tracers extracted at the position of the peak emission of each line, after convolving all data to the angular resolution of 13CO(1−0). The CO(2−1) spectrum appears as the gray filled region. Other lines are scaled by the factors indicated in the legend to put them on the same plot. Right: RADEX output showing fits to the observed ratios among these lines. Blue, red and green lines correspond to the observed HCN/13CO, HCN(1−0)/CO(2−1), and 12CO/13CO values. The gray diamond indicates the position on the RADEX [nH2, Tkin] grid where the χ2 is minimal (i.e., the best-fit values). The dashed lines show the 95% confidence level of the χ2 fit, which is smaller than the size of the diamond.
