Notes. Top: spectral properties of CH3OH and SiO by Xu et al. (2008) and Müller et al. (2013), respectively, from the CDMS database (Müller et al. 2005). Bottom: integrated area in the blue (from 0.8 to 4.8 km s−1) and red (from 8.8 to 12.8 km s−1) velocity ranges from the spectra extracted at the blueshifted and redshifted peaks of CH3OH and SiO (see Figs. 1 and 2) and corresponding column densities.

(a)

Errors on the integrated intensity include 15% of calibration error and spectral baseline determination.

(b)

Ncol has been computed assuming a Tex of 100 K. A difference in Tex of 50 K approximately translates into a factor of 2 in Ncol.

(c)

With respect to the map phase centre.
