ALMA band 10 images of the peak (a, b) and integrated intensity (c, d) from −13.5 to +2.5 km s−1 for two transitions of HDO with 0.35 mm dust continuum contours overlaid. The 0.35 mm dust continuum contour levels are 50, 75, and 150 K on the Planck temperature scale. Magenta × symbols show the location of the spectra extracted for MM1 (Figure 3). There is substantial absorption of the ground-state transition of HDO toward the MM1 continuum in the integrated intensity maps. This absorption dominates the integrated intensity map, leaving no net emission signal, whereas the peak intensity maps show the locations of this subsumed HDO emission. Primary beam correction has been applied with a cutoff at 0.25 of the FWHM. The synthesized beam of 0.″23 × 0.″16 (PA = 39°) is shown in the lower right of each panel.
