SMA CO(3–2) integrated map of NGC 4569 (grey scale given in the color bar in Jy km s^-1 beam^-1) overlaid with the PdBI CO(1–0) integrated map (left) with contours at 2, 6, 12, 20, and 30 Jy km s^-1 beam^-1 and the PdBI CO(2–1) integrated map (right) with contours at at 7, 21, 42, 70 and 87 Jy km s^-1 beam^-1. No primary beam correction has been applied. All maps have the same resolution (PdBI data have been tapered) and the beam (2.3″ × 2.1″) is shown at the bottom left. The black cross labelled E shows the position of the AGN (α_J2000 = 12^h36^m49   .^s80, δ_J2000 = 13°09′46   .′′3). It is also the dynamical center and the phase center for the observations. The other crosses indicate the positions of the spectra plotted in Fig. 4.
