Abstract
By fitting the data of the H2CO 2 mm (140 GHz and 150 GHz), 2cm (1.45GHz)and, 6 cm (4.3GHz)lines we observed in the dark clouds, B5 and L1535, to the values calculated by the hydrostatic equitlibrium polyt ropic model developed by B.E.Turner, we derived the total density, the fractional abundance of H2CO, the column densities of H2and CO, the line temperature arising from various transitions, the line temperature ratio between different transitions, and visual extinction at the cores of the clouds.We also examined the effect of external UV field intensity on the line temperatures and their ratios.
