Caption: Figure 1.

An overview of the CMZ as seen at 3 mm with the feathered ACES continuum mosaic. Included are zoom-in panels of specific regions of interest throughout the CMZ. The black, dashed contours show the area of the CMZ that the ACES catalog covers. Sources found within the rectangular and circular regions are excluded from the catalog due to the impact of interferometric imaging artifacts. The cyan ellipses represent the TGIF 2D Gaussian fits for each of the cataloged sources from the “filtered” ACES catalog, with FWHM major and minor axes. A white 1 pc scale bar is included in the bottom left corner of each zoom-in panel. The full mosaic image has a square root color stretch for the inner 99.9% of the pixel values.
