Cloud model parameters.

Parameter Symbol Values
Gas density n⟨H ⟩ 2 × 104 cm−3
Temperature Td = Tg 10 and 20 to 900 K
Extinction AV 10
Strength of interstellar UV χISM 1
Cosmic ray H2 ionisation rate ζCR 1.7 × 10−17 s−1
Grain radius a 10−5 cm
Dust-to-gas mass ratio δ 0.01
PAH abundance rel. to ISM fPAH 0.01, 1
Number of chemisorbed layers Ncore,layer 5

Notes. χ ISM = 1 is the ISM Draine UV field. fPAH = 1 corresponds to a PAH abundance of 3 × 10−7 (Tielens 2005).
