a Distribution, average and theoretical expectation (4) of the radial velocity vrad as a function of distance from the center. b Distribution, average and theoretical expectation (3) of the radial velocity vrad against time. R0 is determined from the last numerical data point. c Distribution and average of the tangential velocity vtan against distance. d Distribution and average of the tangential velocity vtan against time. In all panels, heatmaps represent histograms normalized for each column. The full spatio-temporal behavior of both velocity components is shown in Supplementary Fig. 6. See Supplementary Note 4 and Supplementary Fig. 3 for technical details on the decomposition.
