Publisher Correction: Measuring the ionisation fraction in a jet from a massive protostar

Correction to: Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11595-x, published online 9 August 2019.

The original version of this Article contained an error in last sentence of the legend to Table 4, which incorrectly read ‘^aAssuming a tangential velocity of 150–300 km⁻¹ from the proper motions of ref. ²²’ The correct version states ‘150–300 km s⁻¹’ in place of ‘150–300 km⁻¹’.

The original version also contained errors in Table 5, in which the headings of the fifth, sixth and seventh rows incorrectly read, ‘$\dot M_{_{{\mathrm{ionised}}}}$ (×10⁻⁶ M_⊙ y⁻¹)’, ‘$\dot M_{{\mathrm{ejec}}}$ (×10⁻⁵ M_⊙ y⁻¹)’ and ‘$\dot P_{_{{\mathrm{ionised}}}}$ (×10⁻⁴ M_⊙ y⁻¹ km⁻¹)’, instead of the correct ‘$\dot M_{_{{\mathrm{ionised}}}}$ (×10⁻⁶ M_⊙ yr⁻¹)’, ‘$\dot M_{{\mathrm{ejec}}}$ (×10⁻⁵ M_⊙ yr⁻¹)’ and ‘$\dot P_{_{{\mathrm{ionised}}}}$ (×10⁻⁴ M_⊙ yr⁻¹ km s⁻¹)’, respectively.

The last sentence of the legend to Table 5 originally incorrectly read ‘^aAssuming a tangential velocity of 150–300 km⁻¹ from the proper motions of ref. ²²’ The correct version states ‘150–300 km s⁻¹’ in place of ‘150–300 km⁻¹’.

The original version also contained an error in the third sentence of the first paragraph of the ‘Ionised mass-loss rate on source’ section of the Methods, which incorrectly read ‘From our observations we obtain the following parameters for core B: S_5.8 = 0.794 ± 0.03 mJy, ν = 5.8 GHz, v_j = 600 ± 100 km⁻¹, θ₀ = 52.3° ± 4.4°, D = 2.2 kpc, T = 10,000 K, the resulting ionised mass-loss rate is 1.81 ± 0.33 × 10⁻⁶ M_⊙ yr⁻¹, consistent with ref. ²².’ The correct version states ‘v_j = 600 ± 100 km s⁻¹’ in place of ‘v_j = 600 ± 100 km⁻¹’.

This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
