Notes. ^(a) Adopted from ¹²CO (Weiss et al. 2003). ^(b) In a beam of 6 $~.\!\!^{\prime\prime}$ $1\times 5$ $~.\!\!^{\prime\prime}$ 4. ^(c) This is the lens-amplified value for a luminosity distance of D_L = 21.28 Gpc (H₀ =71 kms^-1 Mpc^-1, $\Omega_{\rm m} = 0.27$ , $\Omega_{\rm vac} = 0.73$ ) and an angular diameter distance of $D_{\rm A} = 1.682$ Gpc; linear scale: $1'' \leftrightarrow 8152$ pc (Wright 2006).
