Around 1000 of these Planck objects were mapped with the James Clerk Maxwell telescope in the submillimeter range during the SCOPE survey, identifying prestellar and protostellar dense clumps inside them. We used the Effelsberg 100m telescope to observe the emission lines of the NH3 inversion transitions toward a sample of 97 dense objects in varying environments in order to assess the physical parameters of their gas content. We derive their temperature, density, and velocity dispersion, correlating the resulting parameters with the environmental and evolutionary characteristics of the targets and with regard to their distance and physical size. We examine the dependence of physical parameters on distance and Galactic position and compare the gas-based and dust-continuum-based temperatures and densities. Together with the presence of maser emission and higher inversion transitions of ammonia, we may differentiate between certain groups of targets, e.g., filamentary, protostellar clumps, and high-latitude, core-sized, starless sources.</description><source format="bibcode">2022ApJS..258...17F</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/258/17</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+AS/101/153">J/A+AS/101/153 : Galactic H2O masers (Palagi+ 1993)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/291/261">J/A+A/291/261 : H2O masers in HII regions (Cadella+, 1994)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/463/205">J/ApJ/463/205 : CS and NH3 Survey of H2O Maser Emission (Anglada+ 1996)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/308/573">J/A+A/308/573 : Ammonia on YSOs IRAS sources (Molinari+ 1996)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/125/161">J/ApJS/125/161 : A database of dense cores mapped in ammonia (Jijina+, 1999)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/368/845">J/A+A/368/845 : Arcetri Cat. of H2O maser sources (Valdettaro+, 2001)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/132/1322">J/AJ/132/1322 : Water maser survey (Gomez+, 2006)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/651/L125">J/ApJ/651/L125 : H20 masers associated with IR dark cloud cores (Wang+, 2006)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/PASJ/59/1185">J/PASJ/59/1185 : Water maser in galactic IRAS sources (Sunada+, 2007)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/175/509">J/ApJS/175/509 : Ammonia spectral atlas in Perseus (Rosolowsky+, 2008)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/681/1296">J/ApJ/681/1296 : Radio evolution of the PN NGC 7027 (Zijlstra+, 2008)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/515/A42">J/A+A/515/A42 : Catalog of high extinction clouds (Rygl+, 2010)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/418/1689">J/MNRAS/418/1689 : Red MSX water maser and ammonia emissions (Urquhart+, 2011)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/416/1764">J/MNRAS/416/1764 : H_2_O Southern Galactic Plane Survey (HOPS) (Walsh+, 2011)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/544/A146">J/A+A/544/A146 : ATLASGAL cold high-mass clumps with NH_3_ (Wienen+, 2012)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/756/76">J/ApJ/756/76 : Planck cold dust clumps CO survey (Wu+, 2012)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/552/A40">J/A+A/552/A40 : MSX high-contrast IRDCs with NH_3_ (Chira+, 2013)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/209/37">J/ApJS/209/37 : Planck cold clumps in ^12^CO, ^13^CO &amp; C^18^O (Meng+, 2013)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/437/1791">J/MNRAS/437/1791 : RMS survey: molecular observations (Urquhart+, 2014)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/806/74">J/ApJ/806/74 : NH3 line profiles in star-forming regions (Camarata+, 2015)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/584/A94">J/A+A/584/A94 : Galactic cold cores.
