Notes. Numbers in brackets are 1σ uncertainties in units of the last digit. Column (2) gives the spectrum number as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. (†) Column density (log10) measured in a 35′′, 21′′ and 26′′ -beams for H2, NS and N2H + respectively (see Appendix A and Table A.1). (‡) Abundance relative to H nuclei in units of 10−11. (a) Column density of NS determined using both J = 5∕2–3∕2 and J = 7∕2–5∕2 manifolds. (b)Constant N2H + abundance taken from Tafalla & Santiago (2004). (c)Based on the upper limit on N(N2H+) taken from Hirota et al. (2004). (d)Temperature held fixed at 10 K. (e)N2H+ abundance and column density from Daniel et al. (2007) (see Sect. 4.1). (f) Based on the constant N2H + /H2 abundance of 6.5 × 10−10 from Bizzocchi et al. (2013).
