EMISSION LINE VELOCITY FIELD OF THE MAGELLANIC IRREGULAR GALAXY NGC 4449

  • Published : 1996.12.01

Abstract

The imaging spectroscopic observations of the Magellanic irregular galaxy NGC 4449 were made to show the detailed kinematic structure of the galaxy. Many filamentary structures and Several bubble-like structures are recognized in a 3D data cube of H$\alpha$ emission line. Velocity field shows the kpc-scale mosaic structure and counter- rotation of ionized gas.
