Different spots with PN and PO emission identified towards the massive star-forming region AFGL 5142 by Rivilla et al. (2020). Two different values are presented: those derived from an LTE analysis (left), and those derived from a non-LTE analysis assuming Tkin = 20 K and gas density of 105 cm−3. (3)Rivilla et al.
