Notes.

^(a)

Integrated velocity ranges in V_LSR.

^(b)

The filling factors were estimated by comparing the ¹²CO J = 6−5 emission sizes (A_APEX) with those of the SMA ¹²CO J = 2−1 emission (A_SMA) at the contours of 20% of the peak intensities.

^(c)

The outflow energy () was calculated by using the median velocities for the redshifted and blueshifted components.
