3D Visualization of CO/SiO Outflows in Filamentary Clouds

The CO 2-1 and SiO 5-4 data are obtained with the Submillimeter Array.

• The 3-D contours of the ¹²CO data are plotted at the 20-sigma level, while those of the SiO data are at the 4-sigma level, where 1-sigma is 40 mJy/beam for the first 4 sources and 80 mJy/beamJ for the next 4 sources. The 3-D contours are color coded, to show the blue and red-shifted gas components.
• Contours on the back sides of the cubes show the SMA 1.3 mm continuum emission, with levels at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 50, 100, and 150 sigma levels, where 1sigma is 1 mJy/beam.
• White loops on the back sides mark FWHM of the SMA mosaic field.
• Black opaque spheres inside the cubes mark the spatial coordinates and Vlsr (defined by a single Gaussian fitting to the mean H₂CO, CH₃OH, or C¹⁸O spectra of the dense cores) of the dense cores.

The interactive modules can be mouse controlled with pan, zoom, and rotate.

The full list of visualizations can be found at this page.

Use the mouse: left click and drag to rotate; right click and drag (or use the middle scroll if you have one) to zoom in/out.
Or use the touchpad moves accordingly.
The code to make the visualization is available at the GitHub page.
