The Circinus Galaxy
Bärbel Koribalski
(ATNF)
Large-scale neutral hydrogen distribution and mean velocity field of
the Circinus galaxy taken with various arrays of the ATCA
(Jones, Koribalski, Elmouttie, Haynes
1999, MNRAS 302, 649 ).
The nuclear region of the Circinus galaxy:
- Left: ESO composite image of the rings and outflow cone of ionized gas
in the Circinus galaxy as observed by
Marconi et al. 1994 (see their Fig. 10).
Image size= ?? arcsec x ?? arcsec.
- Right: Chandra X-ray image of the inner portion of the Circinus galaxy
by
Bauer et al. (2000, in prep.).
Image size= 80 arcsec x 80 arcsec.
In both images North is to the top and East to the left.
- Left: Chandra X-ray image (as above, but rotated).
- Right: High-resolution HST composite image of the rings and outflow
cone as observed by
Wilson et al. (2000, in prep.).
Both images are rotated by about 65 degrees with respect to North-East.
