Schematic view of the bright-continuum-emitting regions in the central parsec that are affected by absorption of −145, −85, −60, −40 and 50 km s⁻¹ clouds (in light blue dashed with green), the −185 km s⁻¹ cloud (in magenta), the −130 km s⁻¹ cloud (in blue), the −210 km s⁻¹ IRS 13-2L-2S-12N complex cloud (in brown), and the 60 and −110 km s⁻¹ minispiral material (dashed red vertically and horizontally, respectively).
