Spectra of detected molecules over ten points around the AB Aur disk. In color gradient, the C18O J=2→1 integrated intensity map from Fig. 1. Contour levels are from 40% to 90% in steps of 10% the maximum (15 K × km s−1). The position of the central source is marked by a red star. The arrow indicates the direction of the ionized jet (Rodríguez et al. 2014). The ten boxes labeled from A to K show the spectra of the 13CO J=2→1, C18O J=2→1, SO J=56→45, and H2CO J=30,3→20,2 lines toward selected positions. We note that the SO emission is extremely weak (even undetected) toward the southwest.
