Maps of pure H₂ rotational line ratios. Top: S(3)/S(1) show elevated values in the dust lanes and in two-lobed structures near the AGN. White contours represent the OPR; the outermost contour corresponds to 3 (expected in LTE at T ≳ 200 K), with inner contours decreasing in steps of 0.25 down to 1.5. Middle: S(9)/S(5). Bottom: S(13)/S(7). These ratios reveal that the higher-J lines trace arc-like structures in both lobes. The dashed gray line indicates the jet axis.
