(a)

The position of the peak 345 GHz continuum emission and of the CO 32 integrated intensity. The peak TB is at α:03:36:39.072 δ:-20:54:07.06 at Vc = 1730km s-1.

(b)

The Jy to K conversion in the beam is 1 K = 4.6 mJy. The peak TB is 34 K corresponding to 156 mJy.

(c)

The jet flux is integrated from ±(60 to 200) km s-1 where the blueshifted flux is 5.5 and the redshifted 17.7 Jy km s-1.

(d)

The H2 mass M(H2) = 1 × 104S(CO1−0)ΔνD2 (D is the distance in Mpc, SΔν is the integrated CO 10 line flux in Jy km s-1) for a conversion factor N(H2)/I(CO 10) = 2.5 × 1020cm-2. Since we have CO 32 we have to correct for the frequency dependence of the brightness temperature conversion. If CO 32 and 10 have the same brightness temperature (thermal excitation, optically thick) the correction factor is 1/9. However, usually the CO emission is subthermally excited and the brightness temperature ratio is expected to be about 0.5 for a giant molecular cloud. Hence the correction factor we apply is 1/4.5 and M(H2) = 2.2 × 103S(CO 3−2)ΔνD2. The inferred H2 column density in the central beam is N(H2) = 3 × 1024cm-2.
