Left: 100.5 GHz continuum image of the field surrounding QSO B1228–113. To highlight the continuum emission of fainter sources, we have subtracted out the QSO emission (which was detected at a very high signal-to-noise ratio). Gray contours start at 300σ and increase by 300σ, whereas black contours start at 3σ and increase by ﹩\sqrt{2}\sigma ﹩. Right: integrated CO(3−2) emission from the channels showing line emission (Figure 3). Contours begin at 3σ and increase by 2σ. Dotted contours indicate negative values. The synthesized beam is shown in the bottom left inset.
