Scientific paper

Reuter's (1992) model of the IR fluorescence of methanol is used to retrieve a methanol production rate of 3 +/- 1 x 10 exp 26/s and an abundance relative to water of about 0.1 percent. It is argued that calibration is of paramount importance and that a near-simultaneous spectrum is necessary for achieving a reliable estimate of the continuum underlying the emission feature.
