摘要: We present a study at HST-like spatial resolution of the gas kinematics in innermost part NGC 1068. This work is based on observations with integral field spectrograph TIGER mounted CFH Telescope. first derived final PSF our data and checked its photometric integrity by comparison two independent [OIII] HST images (FOC WFPC2). then performed deconvolution data-cube constraining sum deconvolved velocity-slices to be as close possible image. The resulting has similar It shows that velocity distribution inner clouds detected differs strongly from simple NE-SW ejection flow. thus show previous interpretations double-peaked lines NE nucleus must revisited.
