Ratio of free-fall to rotational timescale as a function of disk gas mass, showing most of the sources with CH3CN velocity gradients are rotationally supported. The blue and red dots correspond to the values calculated based on the rotational velocities at the edges of the disks on the blueshifted and redshifted sides, as depicted by crosses in Fig. 2 and listed in Table 3. The black dashed line corresponds to theoretical curve of tff/trot for a disk of mass Mgas in Keplerian rotation about a star with mass M* = 10 M⊙ (see Eq. (4)).
