Channel maps of the data shown as a spectrum in Figure 1 (left) at the same velocity resolution. Frequencies increase with channel number from left to right, i.e., red to blue. The peak channels of the redshifted HCN, HCO +, and HC 3N lines are indicated. Contours are shown at (−3, −2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) σ (1σ = 0.95 mJy beam −1). The beam size (4 farcs5×3 farcs6) is shown in the bottom left corner. The cross indicates a position of 08 h31 m41 fs70, +52°45′17 farcs5 between the CO lens images (Riechers et al. 2009).
