Histograms of the ratio between collisional and radiative excitation rates, CCR/Crad, for five representative column densities, from 1020 to 1022 cm−2, for an interstellar UV field with χ = 1, RV = 3.1, and model ℋ. The black dashed line shows where collisional and radiative processes equally contribute to excitation of H2.
