Figure 1. GNIRS

Left: HST NICMOS archival image of the core of NGC 6240, a merger of two massive galaxies located at 98 Mpc and hosting a double active galactic nucleus (F222M filter, at spatial resolution of ~ 0.2”). The white frame shows the LR-IFU field of view, of 3.2” x 4.8”. Right: 2.2-micron pure continuum emission extraction of the GNIRS LR-IFU processed data cube, observed with spatial resolution of ~ 0.3”.
