Parameters derived from the analysis of the CH+ and H2 lines.

Diagnostics Quantity Measured value in the Bar Measured value in d203-506
H2 lines N(H2)(a) (1.6 ± 0.1) × 1021 cm−2 (8.7 ± 0.8) × 1019 cm−2
T(a) 566 ± 7 K 836 ± 13 K

CH+ near-IR lines F (rate C++H2)(b, c) 2.0–6.0 × 1010 cm−2 s−1 1.5–4.5 × 1011 cm−2 s−1
nH(c) 0.6–1.5 × 106 cm−3 0.6–2.0 × 107 cm−3

Notes. (a)The uncertainties of these values do not take into account calibration effects. They could be increased by a factor of 2–3 if the uncertainty associated with calibration effects is equal to 20%. (b) Number of CH+ molecules formed per unit area and time via either formation route (in cm−2 s−1). (c)The inferred value would be reduced if inelastic collisional excitation were to play a significant role.
