Notes. (a)We adopted NH2=1.35×1023cm2${N_{{{\rm{H}}_2}}} = 1.35 \times {10^{23}}\;{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^{ - 2}}$ for G+0.693, from Martín et al. (2008), assuming an uncertainty of 15% of its value, while we adopted NH2=2×1021cm2${N_{{{\rm{H}}_2}}} = 2 \times {10^{21}}\;{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^{ - 2}}$ cm−2 for L1157-B1, from Lefloch et al. (2012); Di Francesco et al. (2020), assuming an uncertainty of 15% of its value. (b)Value fixed in the fit. (c)For both MF conformers we assumed a source size of 18′′, the same as that derived for the strong shock tracer SiO (Lefloch et al. 2016).
