Fluxes (in K km s−1 kpc2) retrieved with or without short spacings and in GMCs at the native ALMA resolution (0.64″).

Whole TDG (a) 25.6 37.1 4.86 (13.1%) 4.58 (94.2%) 6.76 (18.2%)
North (b) 15.8 28.5 3.93 (13.8%) 3.70 (94.1%) 5.44 (19.1%)
South (c) 9.9 8.5 0.93 (10.9%) 0.88 (94.6%) 1.32 (15.5%)

Notes.

(a)

Whole TDG is the entire ALMA field-of-view, where the primary beam response exceeds 20% (dashed blue line in Fig. 3; ∼80″×70″).

(b)

North is where Dec > 19° 51′50″.

(c)

South is where Dec > 19° 51′50″.

(d)

Flux inside 4σ dilated mask (the mask is identical in both cases and is based on the 12 m + 7 m cube). The fourth and fifth columns indicate the percentage of the total 12 m + 7 m + TP flux that is inside the dilated mask and the percentage of 12 m + 7 m + TP flux recovered with 12 m + 7 m inside the same mask, respectively.

(e)

Total flux in all GMCs identified with CPROPS, after extrapolation to 0 K and deconvolution of the beam; without extrapolation and deconvolution, the total flux in GMCs is considerably lower, 2.46 K km s−1 kpc2. The percentage of the total 12 m + 7 m + TP flux is listed. The total flux in GMCs identified with SCIMES (Appendix A.2) is 8.18 and 2.94 K km s−1 kpc2 for the extrapolated and non-extrapolated version, respectively.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
