Left: values of the FUV field in units of the Draine field derived from the HIRES 60, and 100 μm fluxes as color map. White, dashed contours mark the Spitzer/IRAC 5.8 μm flux smoothed to a resolution of 35′′. The contour values are 25, 50, and 75% of the peak value. Overlayed in thin contours is the NANTEN2 CO 4–3 map. The central OB cluster is marked by a star. The two pillar heads are denoted by the squares, White crosses mark the positions along the cuts into MM1 and MM2. Right: spitzer/IRAC 5.8 μm observation (in MJy/sr) overlayed with FUV fluxes as derived from IRAS/HIRES flux ratios. The contours correspond to values of χ = 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000. IRAC pixel size is 1.2′′. The position (0,0) in both panels corresponds to RA(J2000.0) = , Dec(J2000.0) = .
