Fig. 9
A comparison of the 12CO P(6) and 13CO R(6) line profiles from GSS 30. The two profiles should be similar, including absorption from the same lower level. The absorption in the 13CO line is deeper and redder than that seen in the 12CO line, despite that the 13CO line cannot be more optically-thick than the 12CO line. Instead, we infer the presence of redshifted absorption from infalling gas at 10−20 km s-1. The broader emission is produced far enough from the central source that it does not travel through the infalling gas and consequently does not suffer from absorption.
