Caption: Figure 2.

Selected 13CO J = 2−1 channel maps. A point source is seen at a projected distance of 1.″4 with a position angle of 161° (east from north). The dashed ellipses show the projected circular orbit of an object with an orbital semimajor axis of 206 au. Near the center of the AS 209 disk, the inner disk appears as a point source because of an annular gap around ≃0.″5 (Law et al. 2021a; see also Figure 3). The synthesized beam is presented in the lower-left corner of each panel. The color map starts at 5σ ≃ 2.3 mJy beam−1.
