Left: SINFONI K band continuum view of the IRAS 18162-2048 star-forming region. The black and white boxes represent the extraction regions for the spectra shown in Fig. 2. The black crosses represent the positions of IRS 2 and IRS 7 (peak intensity pixel from SINFONI), and the red cross shows the position of IRAS 18162-2048 (from the VLA data). Middle left: peak intensity continuum-subtracted map for the Brγ emission line. The white crosses represent the positions of IRS 2 and IRS 7, and the red cross indicates the position of IRAS 18162-2048. Middle right: peak intensity map for the 1–0 S(1) H₂ emission line including the continuum emission. Right: same as middle-right panel but with the continuum subtracted. In all panels, the full FoV of SINFONI is shown.
