Specific angular momentum ( j = R × Vϕ) versus poloidal velocity VP for steady and axisymmetric MHD disk winds. The black symbols represent values derived from the tomography and averaged along lines of constant VZ, with their uncertainty. Red curves show the expected relation from self-similar cold magneto-centrifugal disk winds with r0 varying from 0.5 to 100 au and λ between 1.52 and 2.3 from Ferreira et al. (2006). The green dot corresponds to a warm MHD disk wind solution from Casse & Ferreira (2000) with r0 = 1 au and λ = 1.9. The green arrow shows the path followed by the solution with an increase of r0. The gray box represents the estimated specific angular momentum for the outer low velocity layer on Sect. 4.1, taking a maximal poloidal velocity corresponding to a height of Z = 3300 au in the outflow referential.
