Image Details
Caption: Figure A2.
This is the same type of comparison as shown in Figure A1; however, the blue-filled shapes are the X-ray contours at a level of 7 × 10−9 counts s−1 cm−2 pixel−1 also shown in previous figures as the interior contours, and they trace the densest parts of the cloud. The OPs with X-ray being the primary data set are shown in blue in the lower left of each panel, and the percentages with H2CO being the primary data set are shown in pink in the lower right of each panel. These percentages for the dense cores of the cloud are, on average, 27% higher than the percentages shown in Figure A1, which makes sense as H2CO is a dense gas tracer.
