Notes. (a) Number of lines usedin the analysis. The total number of detected transitions (i.e. including blends) is reported in brackets (see text). (b) T is the rotational temperatureTrot for HCOOCH3 and C2H5CN, Tex is that for the rest of molecules analysed using LTE, and Tkin is that for molecules analysed using non-LTE. (c) Adopted range of excitation temperatures (see Sect. 3.4). (d) Line flux measured after subtracting the small contribution from HCOOCH3 and/or C2H5CN (see Sects. 3.3 and 3.4). (e) Abundance ratios of molecules marked as ‘/’ yield no meaningful information.
