Top left: FTS map at 250 μm of the PDR NGC 7023 NW with contours of J = 7–6 (white), (maximum at 1.5 × 10^-5erg cm^-2s^-1sr^-1 with contour lines at 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 times the maximum), J = 12–11 (orange) (maximum at 4.0 × 10^-5erg cm^-2s^-1sr^-1 with contour lines at 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 times the maximum), and J = 7–6 (pink) (maximum at 3.2 × 10^-6erg cm^-2s^-1sr^-1 with contour lines at 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 times the maximum) and H₂ 1−0 S(1) (red) from Lemaire et al. (1996) (maximum at 3.7 × 10^-4erg cm^-2s^-1sr^-1 with contours at 0.27, 0.41, 0.55, 0.69 times the maximum). Top right: FTS map at 250 μm of the PDR NGC 7023 NW with contours of H₂ 0−0 S(1) (orange) from Spitzer observations (maximum at 1.9 × 10^-4erg cm^-2s^-1sr^-1 with contour lines at 0.26, 0.36, 0.52, 0.62, 0.83 times the maximum) and H₂ 1−0 S(1) (red) (maximum at 3.7 × 10^-4erg cm^-2s^-1sr^-1 with contours at 0.27, 0.41, 0.55, 0.69 times the maximum). Bottom: FTS map of the PDR NGC 7023 E, 250 μm map with contours of J = 9–8 (white) (maximum at 3.2 × 10^-6erg cm^-2s^-1sr^-1 with contour lines at 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 times the maximum), J = 5–4 (violet) (maximum at 5.6 × 10^-7erg cm^-2s^-1sr^-1 with contour lines at 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 times the maximum) and H₂ 0−0 S(1) (red) from Spitzer observations (maximum at 1.3 × 10^-4erg cm^-2s^-1sr^-1 with contour lines at 0.45, 0.66 times the maximum). Note that the FTS map at long wavelengths (SLW) is slightly smaller than the shown map, so that the J = 5–4 contour lines are cut off in the north. The letters A, B, and C indicate positions of interest as explained. We include the detected YSOs by Kirk et al. (2009) as stars in the top right figure. The FWHM of the beam for the different CO and the beam size for H₂ lines are presented. Maps: 12.2′′ (green). NGC 7023 NW: 11.6′′ for ¹²CO J = 12–11 (orange), 18.6′′ for ¹²CO J = 7–6 (white), 18.7′′ for ¹³CO J = 7–6 (white) and 1′′ for H₂ 1−0 S(1) (red). NGC 7023 E: 13.0′′ for ¹²CO J = 9–8 (white), 22.7′′ for ¹³CO J = 5–4 (violet) and 11′′ for H₂ 0−0 S(1) (red).
