Scientific paper

For NH3 the authors present a simple radiative transfer model with selective trapping in the far IR (J, K) = (2, 1)→(1, 1) transition, which together with hyperfine selective collisional excitation is able to reproduce the observed hyperfine intensity anomalies in the molecules (J, K) = (1, 1) inversion transition. The model leads to the interpretation, that the anomalous hyperfine intensities emitting clouds are composed of many small (10-2pc), high density (106 - 107cm-3) clumps of 0.3 - 1 M_sun;, which may be the precursors of low mass star formation.
