Caption: Figure 1.

(a) ALMA 0.89 mm (Band 7) continuum image of G358.93−0.03, with an angular resolution 0.″46 × 0.″42 (∼3000 au at 6.75 kpc). The contour levels are 3.5 mJy beam−1 (1σ) × (8, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, 144, 240, 336); the continuum components are labeled for reference. Integrated intensity (b) and velocity (c) images of the CH3CN J = 114–104 transition (Band 5 data, beam 0.″55), with the 0.89 mm contours from (a) are overlaid. The location of the (sub)millimeter masers is indicated by the blue × symbol in (b). (d–g) Spatially integrated maser spectra for (d) SMA, near 200 GHz; (e) SMA, near 340 GHz; (f) ALMA, for three of the same lines as panel (d); and (g) ALMA, for four of the same lines as panel (e). The brightness temperature (Tb) scales (shown in kiloKelvin) are computed with respect to the synthesized beam, not the fitted size.
