Notes. Because of large bandwidths (4–8 GHz) that yield potentially complex velocity-frequency correlations, all fits were obtained on a frequency scale. All fitted CN components refer to groups of individual lines. Column 3 displays observed frequencies, referring to the local standard of rest (LSR) VLSR = 0 km s-1 frequency scale. All given errors are standard deviations obtained from Gaussian fits. The Tmb values (last column) were obtained from the values given in Cols. 2 and 4. Calibration uncertainties are not considered here but are discussed in Sect. 3.6.2.
