Areas of integration and results of spectral analysis.

Gas species	Integration^(⋆) (Å)	F_X (×10⁻¹² erg cm⁻² s⁻¹)
CN(1,0)	9141–9269	2.0 ± 0.2	0.7 ± 0.1
C₂(0,0)	4801–5170	9.4 ± 1.0	1.1 ± 0.2

Notes. ^(⋆)Integrated wavelength ranges. We consider integration areas slightly narrower than each gas species’ theoretical range to minimize uncertainties from continuum subtraction. ^(†)We placed an arbitrary error of 20% taking into account the order-of-magnitude estimation of production rates.
