Appendix

A. Summary tables

We present here tables that summarize various param- eters of the studied sources: coordinates determined as explained in Sect. 2.2, IRAS properties (variability, LRS, fluxes), spectral types, OH detections, and the tex2html_wrap_inline2837 ratio. These tables are the basis of the statistical analysis and are referenced in the text.

The list of objects is divided according to the following: first, the observations performed before 1994 and published by several authors are presented, with the tex2html_wrap_inline2837 ratio using a a correction for the surface of the antenna; then, we present our own observations, starting with the main sample studied here, and continuing with miscellanous objects.

 

 

Table 7: Northern tex2html_wrap_inline2863 bright (tex2html_wrap_inline3549 oxygen-rich sources in regions IIIa1 and IIIa2 from Omont et al. (1993) detected in CO(1-0) before 1994. The tex2html_wrap_inline2837 ratio is corrected to a 30 m antenna (IRAM). Size of the other telescopes: FCRAO: 14 m; SEST: 15 m; OSO: 20 m; BTL: 7 m; NRAO: 12 m. See Table 8 for references of OH observations

 

 

Table 8: Southern (tex2html_wrap_inline3555) bright tex2html_wrap_inline3557 oxygen-rich sources in regions IIIa1 and IIIa2 detected in CO(1-0) before 1994. The tex2html_wrap_inline2837 ratio is corrected to a 30 m antenna. See Table 8 for references of OH observations

 

 

Table 9: Summary of the properties of the observed sources of the northern main sample (O-rich sources from the regions IIIa1 or IIIa2, with tex2html_wrap_inline3563). The positions given in italic are from the IRAS-PSC; the other ones were measured by ourselves (see text). When necessary, the tex2html_wrap_inline2837 ratio is corrected to be normalized to a 30-m antenna. When given with a > sign, the tex2html_wrap_inline2837 ratio corresponds to a non-detection and tex2html_wrap_inline2839 was replaced by 2 tex2html_wrap_inline3069 rms. Values marked by a star (*) correspond to observations affected by interstellar contamination. Some spectral types were determined from observations made at Lick Observatory (see text). The others were found in SIMBAD. The references concerning the OH observations correspond to: (1) this paper; (2) Le Squeren et al. (1992); (3) te Lintel Hekkert et al. (1991); (4) Sivagnanam et al. (1990); (5) Lewis et al. (1990); (6) Galt et al. (1989); (7) te Lintel Hekkert et al. (1989); (8) Eder et al. (1988); (9) Lewis et al. (1987); (10) Ukita &

Table 13: CO detections for sources of the main sample (northern sources in regions IIIa1 and IIIa2). Only the tex2html_wrap_inline2837 ratio is corrected for the surface when the observations were made at SEST (noted with a !). The measurements corrected for the effect of the offset reduced to avoid interstellar contamination (see Sect. 2.3.1) are marked with a*

Table 14: Other CO detections. The notations are the same as in Table 13 (click here)

   

Table 15: CO tentative detections. Some of them were affected by interstellar contamination and are noted with a*. In that cases, the rms was measured out of the contaminated region of the spectrum

   

Table 16: CO non-detections. In the tex2html_wrap_inline3579 ratio, the rms is corrected for the surface when the observation was made at SEST (noted with a !). Only the significative non-detections (i.e. with tex2html_wrap_inline3581) are reported here
