Notes. DCN and HCN column densities are calculated with RADEX assuming Tkin = 100 K and n(H2) = 2 × 106 cm-3. For the offset positions where HC15N was not detected, the data for H13CN are shown; for the other positions, where both were detected, data for the HC15N J = 4−3 transition are listed and we note that the column density determinations from the H13CN J = 4−3 line agree with these to within ±35%.
based on 12C/13C = 77; 14N/15N = 450 (Wilson & Rood 1994).
