Notes. Column densities are calculated with RADEX assuming Tkin = 40 K and n(H2) = 5  ×  105 cm-3 towards the Eastern tail at RA = 19:10:16.6; Dec = 09:05:48. We show column density ratios based on both the main lines of HCN and HCO+ and the 13C-substituted lines, since there is some excess emission at higher velocities in the main HCN and HCO+ lines that has not been fitted (see Fig. 12).

Tentative detection based on the rms noise in the spectrum, N(DCN)  < 4  ×  1012 cm-2 for Tex  ≥  10 K and DCN/HCN  < 0.002.
