Sketch of the double-cone geometry used for the modelling of MWC349A. The ionized gas is contained in a double cone with its revolution axis perpendicular to the plane of the neutral disk. Each cone has a semi-opening angle of θa and is made up of two ionized regions with different kinematics: i) a rotating and expanding ionized wind contained within the double-cone with semi-opening angle θa − θd; and ii) a Keplerian rotating ionized layer comprised between the ionized wind and the neutral disk with an opening angle relative to the conical surface of the double cone of θd. The observer is located toward the negative z-axis. The derived inclination angle θi is such that the source is tipped up in front.
