Caption: Figure 1.

Selected 12CO J = 2−1 channel maps. The upper panels show an annular gap. The black dashed ellipses present the projected circular orbit with a radius of 206 au. Lower panels show a large velocity perturbation on the southern side of the disk (highlighted with black circles). A similar perturbation is not present on the northern side of the disk, emphasizing the localized nature of the perturbation. The synthesized beam is presented in the lower-left corner of each panel. The color map starts at 5σ ≃ 3.3 mJy beam−1.
