Notes. The CH3 OH entry is the column density in 1017 cm−2 in a 0.45″ beam derived from 13CH3OH for Band 3 and CHOH for Band 6 using 12C∕13C = 70 and 16O ∕18O = 560, respectively. All other entries are abundances with respect to CH3OH (in %). The errors are derived from the 2σ (95%) uncertainties on the column densities. Abundance ratios set to their respective isotope ratio are indicated with a ≡ symbol.
