Notes. Columns 5 and 7 respectively report the ORION B cloud-averaged linewidth and peak brightness temperature values. The mean and standard deviation of the pixel scale peak brightness temperatures from the Orion B spectra used to construct the toy clouds is also reported. For HCN (J =1→0) and N2H+(J = 1 → 0), the cloud-averaged linewidth including the entire hyperfine structure is added in brackets.
