Extended Data Fig. 3

a, Intensity peak offset (top graph) and orbital plane angle (bottom graph) at each radial distance derived from the observed 0.9-mm image (filled circles) and that derived from the model (solid lines) using the original synthesized beam. b, As a but with the original beam and the tapered round-beam to show the effect of beam elongation. c, Intensity peak offset and orbital plane angle at each radial distance derived from the pseudo-observations of the disk model with warp (open circles) and without warp (crosses) for the tapered round-beam case. d, As c but for the original synthesized-beam (elongated beam) case. In a–d, the grey error bars represent 3σ Gaussian fitting errors.
