Filaments in Sgr B2(N) colored by their mean velocity gradient as derived for the molecular species CH₃OCHO, CH₃OCH₃, CH₃OH and ¹³CH₃OH. The velocity gradient ranges from −50 km s⁻¹ pc⁻¹ (blue), corresponding to filaments located in front, to +50 km s⁻¹ pc⁻¹ (red), corresponding to filaments located in the back. The gray contours indicating 242 GHz continuum emission at a level of 1.2 Jy beam⁻¹. The white circles represent the dense cores, and the black dashed line shows the filament F02, only visible in H₂ CS.
