Notes. The centroid of all fits was fixed to the position of the dust continuum peak.

(a)

Major and minor axes of the elliptical fits correspond to the respective FWHM.

(b)

The radius perpendicular to the outflow as derived from the HWHM of the fit with fixed PA along the outflow.

(c)

The dust temperature at the radius perpendicular to the outflow was determined using the profiles calculated by Kristensen et al. (2012).

(d)

The uv fits for IRAS4B are strongly affected by outflow contamination and therefore do not reliably trace the central compact methanol emission.
