Both panels show in the background three-color NIR images (red, green, and blue for K_s-, H-, and J-band filters, respectively) obtained from the VVV survey. Left panel: white contours show the CH₃OH ﹩{2}_{\mathrm{1,1}}\to {1}_{\mathrm{1,0}}﹩ zero-moment emission. Levels: 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% of the peak (0.51 Jy beam⁻¹ km s⁻¹). Right panel: cyan contours show deuterated ammonia (J, K) = (1, 1) zero-moment emission. Levels: 10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, and 90% of the peak (0.10 Jy beam⁻¹ km s⁻¹). Red crosses mark the continuum sources 2, 3, 7, 8, 10, and 12. Green dashed ellipses show the location of the NW and N-red clouds, and the NEC-wall. Black crosses mark the DR(a), (b), and (c) positions.
