Radiative transfer modelings of [C I](1–0)/CO(2–1) and [C I](1–0)/13CO(2–1) ratios (TB). The panels indicate the three cases of different nH2. All model calculations assume a constant [12CO]/[13CO] = 40. In each panel, there are three groups of ﹩{N}_{{{\rm{C}}}^{0}}/{N}_{\mathrm{CO}}﹩ (1, 3, and 10, shown in blue, green, and red, respectively), where different line tracks indicate different NCOV: dotted = 3 × 1016, solid = 1 × 1017, and dashed = 3 × 1017 cm−2 (km s−1)−1. In each track, points indicate the five cases of Tkin (50, 100, 200, 300, and 500 K) with monotonically decreasing the [C I](1–0)/13CO(2–1) ratio with higher Tkin in the case of nH2 = 103 cm−3 or, conversely, monotonically increasing the [C I](1–0)/13CO(2–1) ratio with higher Tkin in the remaining cases; we mark the lowest Tkin = 50 K cases with filled symbols.
