Physical parameters derived from the ALMAGAL observations. General properties of the ALMAGAL targets. Left: plot of the ALMAGALdetermined v_LSR vs the values in the original catalogs at the time of the proposal. Black and red symbols identify sources extracted from the Hi-GAL and RMS survey catalogs. The formal uncertainty in the determination (1.4 km s⁻¹ see text) is smaller than the size of the points, while green dashed lines mark the extent of a ± 7 km s⁻¹ v_LSR variation typically assigned to local non-circular motions (see text). Right: new distances determined from the ALMAGAL-derived v_LSR vs the original values (colors as in left panel). Green dashed lines mark a ± 500 pc distance variation. The dashed lines mark the distances that were adopted to generate the “near” and “far” ALMAGAL subsamples, with text showing quadrants where sources would change subsample membership (see text for more details).
