Notes.A velocity gradient of 5 km s-1 pc-1, a filling factor of unity, and the H2CO 322 → 221/303 → 202 line ratios averaged over 30″ boxes were adopted in the LVG models to derive the solutions presented in Cols. 2−3.

(a)

The temperatures in Col. 4 are calculated with Eq. (20) with a velocity gradient of 5 km s-1 pc-1, a typical gas density of 104.5 cm-3, and a cloud size, i.e., turbulent scale, of 5 pc.
