Ratio of the strength of the FUV radiation field and volume density (G0/n) in Orion B, and the distribution of pixels in dense and translucent gas. Top panel: G0/n at 40 arcseconds (0.08 pc at the distance of the source) across Orion B, where G0 is in Habing's units and n in units of cm−3. Black contour corresponds to 13CO integrated intensity of 0.5 K km s−1, indicating the boundaries of a GMC. Dashed contours correspond to values of G0/n of 1 cm3 (orange) and 20 cm3 (dark red). We divide Orion B in six different regions. The bottom panels show histograms of normalized distribution of pixels having specific dust extinction (left panel), mean volume density (middle panel) and G0/n (right panel). The orange and purple shaded regions correspond to values of pixels from translucent and dense medium, respectively.
