Through multi-component line fitting, we have decomposed this HII region into nine overlapping velocity structures, for which we have extracted the line flux and radial velocity maps. We have then fitted a set of Keplerian orbits onto the radial velocity map of the most extended structure (the "Northern Arm"), assuming that it was orbiting the central black hole candidate Sgr A*. This fit allows us to propose a three-dimensional kinematic model for this structure, which is hereby given as a set of FITS files. In this model, the central mass, its location in the field, and the distance to the Galactic Center are fixed: we use a mass of 3e6 solar masses and a distance of 8kpc; the pixel scale is 0.353 arcsec/pix, Sgr A* is considered to be located at pixel (59.2538, 38.9849) (IDL notation: (0, 0) is the center of the lower-left pixel, add 1 for FITS convention).</description><source format="bibcode">2004A&amp;A...426...81P</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/426/81</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship></content><rights>https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html</rights><capability><interface xsi:type="vr:WebBrowser"><accessURL use="full">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/426/81</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/426/81</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/426/81</mirrorURL></interface></capability><capability><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/426/81</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/426/81</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/426/81</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface></capability><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP#aux"><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap</accessURL></interface></capability><coverage><footprint ivo-id="ivo://ivoa.net/std/moc"/><waveband>Infrared</waveband></coverage><tableset><schema><name>default</name></schema></tableset></ri:Resource>
