Upper left: rotation diagram for the CO lines. Blue dots: SEST observations from the literature, red dots: SPIRE data, green dot: SPIRE CO line blended with a water line. The full, dashed, and dotted lines show different single temperature RADEX models. Upper right: two temperature (RADEX) fits to the CO lines. One extended cold component (blue) with n(H2) = 7 × 103 cm−3 and N(CO) = 1 × 1017 cm−2, and one hot component (red) from more compact regions n(H2) = 104 cm−3 and N(CO) = 4 × 1015 cm−2. Lower left: a model consisting of a slightly warmer extended component with RADEX values of n(H2) = 7 × 103 cm−3 and N(CO) = 7 × 1016 cm−2 (blue), and a slow velocity C-type shock with a shock speed of 10 km s−1 and a pre-shock density of n(H + 2H2) = 2 × 104 cm−3 (red). The C-shock model comes from Flower & Pineau des Forêts (2010) where we have scaled their values to a 10″-source in order to obtain a best fit. Lower right: water lines modeling. Water emission lines observed by SPIRE – blue dots: o-H2O, green arrow: blended ortho-line, red dots: p-H2O. The same slow-velocity C-type shock as for CO but the model with a shock velocity of 10 km s−1 and a pre-shock density of n(H + 2H2) = 2 × 104 cm−3 underestimates the line intensities. Increasing the speed or the pre-shock density will give a better fit but it’s still hard to fit all para lines.
