The quoted uncertainties represent the 16th and 84th percentile (1σ for a Gaussian distribution) uncertainties. Values in the table are also available in the files provided at ref. 42. †Column density values are highly covariant with the derived source sizes. The marginalized uncertainties on the column densities are therefore dominated by the largely unconstrained nature of the source sizes, and not by the signal-to-noise of the observations. ‡Uncertainties derived by adding the uncertainties of the individual components in quadrature.
