C2H and C18O radial profile for the velocity-integrated emission lines in ALMA Band 6, while the gray line displays the continuum-emission profile from DSHARP (Andrews et al. 2018; Guzmán et al. 2018) on the left and from MAPS (Öberg et al. 2021) on the right. We observe that C18O shows a wide gap before showing a second peak after the outer ring at 120 au. C2H shows an inverse correlation to C18O, peaking at the location of the C18O gap, making AS 209 a unique source for the study of CO chemical processing among the sources in the MAPS survey.
