Linewidths extracted towards the core population of G338.93 for the molecules listed in Table 5 as a function of the continuum core masses taken from Louvet et al. (2023), assuming the core dust temperature estimates as given in Table 3. The linewidths shown are from fits classified as single-type which can be well approximated by a single Gaussian (or single HFS fit for DCN) component fit to the extracted spectrum. The grey vertical lines represent the masses of all 42 cores in the G338.93 protocluster. DCN (3–2) well represents the full mass range of the cores in the protocluster.
