The 12CO ﹩J=1{\mbox{--}} 0﹩ velocity channel maps of IRAS 18276−1431 obtained with OVRO. The LSR velocities of the different channels are indicated in km s−1 units within the boxes. Levels are −4, −2, 2, 4, ..., σ (﹩\sigma =13﹩ Jy beam−1). Positive (negative) contours are plotted using solid (dashed) lines. Brightness to temperature units conversion factor is 1.19 K Jy−1 beam−1. The 2.6 mm continuum map and the clean beam, ﹩\mathrm{FWHM}\,\sim 10.9^{\prime \prime }\times 7.1^{\prime \prime }﹩, are represented in the last panel. Levels of the continuum are −2, 2, and 3 σ (﹩\sigma =4﹩ mJy beam−1). The coordinates of the center of the maps (marked with a cross) are ﹩\mathrm{R.A.}\,=18^{\mathrm{h}\,}30^{\mathrm{m}\,}30.75^{\mathrm{s}\,}﹩, ﹩\mathrm{decl.}\,=-14^{\circ }28^{\prime }56.28^{\prime \prime }﹩ (J2000.0).
