Non-circular motion evidence in the circumnuclear region of M100 (NGC 4321)

Non-circular motion evidence in the circumnuclear region of M100 (NGC 4321)

We analyse new integral-field spectroscopy of the inner region (central 2.5 kpc) of the spiral galaxy NGC 4321 to study the peculiar kinematics of this region. Fourier analysis of the velocity residuals obtained by subtracting an axisymmetric rotation model from the Hα velocity field indicates that the distortions are global …
