Kinematic Mapping of the Narrow Line Region of NGC4151

We present HST Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) slitless spectroscopy of the NGC4151 narrow line region (NLR) as a probe of the kinematic stucture of the extended emission-line gas emanating from the nucleus. Using slitless spectroscopy at two roll angles (with a spatial resolution of 0.0...

Zusammenfassung:We present HST Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) slitless spectroscopy of the NGC4151 narrow line region (NLR) as a probe of the kinematic stucture of the extended emission-line gas emanating from the nucleus. Using slitless spectroscopy at two roll angles (with a spatial resolution of 0.051 ″/pixel and a point source spectral resolution of 0.55 Å) augmented with narrow band images, we have mapped the velocity field of the NLR as defined by ˜60 discrete cloud structures in [OIII]. Flux measurements of [OII], Hβ, [OIII], [OI], and [SII] were made for individual cloud structures wherever possible.
