Left panel: continuum emission map of the central r ≤ 1″ (70 pc) region of NGC 1068 obtained with ALMA at 229.7 GHz (1306 μm). The map is shown in grayscale with contour levels -2σ (dashed contour), 2σ, 5σ, 10σ, 20σ, 50σ, 100σ, and 200σ, where 1σ = 30 μJy beam−1. Middle panel: same as left panel but showing the continuum emission at 344.5 GHz (871 μm). Contour spacing is as in left panel, but with 1σ = 50 μJy beam−1. Right panel: same as left panel but showing the continuum emission at 694 GHz (432 μm) published by García-Burillo et al. (2016). Contour levels are −2σ (dashed contour), 2σ, 5σ, 7σ, 9σ, 12σ, and 16σ, where 1σ = 0.5 mJy beam−1. The (red) filled ellipses at the bottom left corners of the panels represent the beam sizes of ALMA at 229.7 GHz ( at PA = 40°), 344.5 GHz ( at PA = 90°) and 694 GHz ( at PA = 60°). The AGN lies at the intersection of the dashed lines: α2000 = 02h42m40.709s, (S1 knot). We highlight the position of other radio continuum knots (S2, C and NE) as given in the VLBI maps of Gallimore et al. (1996, 2004), and the E-knot, characterized by strong dust continuum and molecular line emission (García-Burillo et al. 2014; Viti et al. 2014).
