1 Introduction

In the original article (Gieser et al. 2023), in Sect. 3.3 an error occurred in the code of the calculation of the H2 line-integrated intensities estimated from a Gaussian fit. Due to this mistake, we overestimated the H2 line-integrated intensities by a factor of (λ[µm])2. The observed line-integrated intensities were used to estimate the H2 temperature and column density, with a warm and hot component. While the conclusions of the study remain qualitatively unchanged, here we provide correct values for the line-integrated intensities as well as for the H2 temperatures and column densities.

The corrected H2 excitation diagram results toward source mmA1 and source B is shown in Fig. 1, corresponding to Fig. 5 in the original paper. The warm and hot temperature components toward mmA1 are ≈560K and ≈2600K, respectively. The total column density, considering the contribution from both temperature components, is Nwarm+hot ≈ 1.39× 1021 cm−2. Toward source B, we find a higher column density but a lower temperature.

The full temperature and column density maps are shown in Fig. 2 (Fig. 6 in the original paper), where the results for the cold component (left column) remain unchanged. With the corrected values, the H2 column densities of the warm component are about two magnitudes lower compared to the cold component. The temperature of the warm component ranges between 250 K and 600 K. In the hot component, the column densities are about two orders of magnitude lower, of namely Nhot ≈ 1019 cm−2, compared to the warm component and the temperatures are 1000–2500 K.

The median temperature is 440 K and 1700K for the warm and hot component, respectively, and the median column density is 8.7 × 1020 cm−2 and 5.8 × 1018 cm−2, respectively. In absolute numbers, the median uncertainties are log ΔNwarm = 0.24 log cm−2, log ΔNhot = 0.73 log cm−2, ΔTwarm = 60 K, and ΔThot = 680 K. Tables 1 (line-integrated intensities) and 2 (excitation diagram results) show corrected versions of Tables A.1 and A.2 of the original paper, respectively.

In Sect. 4.1 of the original paper, we compared the derived H2 column densities of IRAS 23385 to the L1157 outflow (Nisini et al. 2010). With the corrected values, we find that the H2 column densities of IRAS 23385 are not four, but two to three orders of magnitude higher. With JWST we are, for the first time, able to probe high-column density regions (>1021 cm−2) thanks to the higher angular resolution.

The observed data are shown in black and the two-component fit is shown by red and blue dots, which correspond to the warm and hot component, respectively, and the total fit is indicated by a green line.

In the top and bottom panels, the rotation temperature and H2 column density maps, respectively, of the cold (left), warm (center), and hot (right) components are shown in color. The angular resolution of the line data is indicated by a purple ellipse in the bottom right corner. The JWST/MIRI 5.2 µm continuum is presented by blue contours with contour levels at 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 × σcont,5 µm and the angular resolution is highlighted by a black ellipse in the bottom left corner. The NOEMA 3 mm continuum (top and bottom left panels) is highlighted by gray contours with levels at 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 × σcont,3 mm and the synthesized beam is highlighted by a gray ellipse in the bottom left corner. All continuum sources are labeled in green in the bottom left panel and the millimeter continuum sources are marked by green squares. Several shock positions are indicated by green crosses (Sect. 3.2).
