Caption: Figure 3.

An ALMA+APEX resolved molecular gas view and prominent structures in the N113 region. The grayscale image is the peak brightness temperature map of 12CO(J = 2–1). The pink contours represent the 13CO(J = 2–1) peak temperature with contour levels of 3 (∼6 × rms) and 15 K. Pink and green crosses indicate massive YSOs (J. P. Seale et al. 2009; M. Sewiło et al. 2010), with those highlighted in pink with masses exceeding ∼30 M (J. L. Ward et al. 2016). The cyan crosses indicate YSO candidates (B. A. Whitney et al. 2008; R. A. Gruendl & Y.-H. Chu 2009; L. R. Carlson et al. 2012). The beam size is shown in the lower left corner. The bright V-shaped clouds of 12CO and 13CO and several subfilamentary structures extending southwest and west are outlined with orange and cyan dashed lines, respectively.
