a

Errors correspond to 1σ uncertainties in MADCUBAIJ.

b

Tex range assumed to calculate the total column densities from a single COM transition using MADCUBAIJ.

c

Molecular abundances calculated by using an H2 column density of 5.4×1022 cm−2 for the continuum peak (see Section 5 for details) and of 1.5×1022 cm−2 for the position of the CH3OH peak (Spezzano et al. 2016)

d

Abundances predicted by the model of Vasyunin et al. (in prep).

e

Fitting solutions could only be obtained by fixing Tex within MADCUBAIJ.

f

Tex and Nobs calculated using Weeds.
