Fig. 3.
Spectral index map of the continuum emission of VY CMa between about 230.3 and 351.4 GHz. Contours represent continuum emission in Band 6 at 0.5 (≈5× rms of the map noise), 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 20, 40, and 80% of the peak flux of 95 mJy beam−1. The restoring beam size is shown in the lower right corner. The naming convention for the clumps is indicated by the labels and arrows. At 1.17 kpc, 100 mas corresponds to 117 AU.
