Appendix B: Complementary figures

This appendix presents the LVG diagrams of the metastable inversion transitions of para-NH₃. Most of the sources show two kinetic temperature components: one warm plotted in a red line; and one cool plotted in a blue line. In the cases where only the warm kinetic temperature component was present, the result is showed with a red line. We show the n(H₂) derived for each component from the CS data, which was used as a fixed parameter in the RADEX program. The shaded regions correspond to the error associated to each para-NH₃ line. When a line was not detected we plot their 3 − σ level with a dashed line. The error associated to the kinetic temperature and column density was estimated computing the χ² of the line intensities over the grid used for the LVG model. We impose , which translates in the 68.3% confidence level projected for each parameter axis, which is showed as a black elipse.
