Caption: Figure 8.

Integrated CO 2−1 image illustrating the small angular-scale structure from VLSR = 6 to 13 km s−1. Comparison with Figures 4 and 5 shows that at these velocities, cones of CO emission originate from outside the prominent H2 streamers 3 and 5. The patchy dark bays surrounding the ejection center (plus-symbol) and other parts of the image indicate missing flux due to spatial filtering of the ALMA data. Blue circles (from north to south) mark the locations of BN, Source I, Source n, and IRc4.
