Optical Integral Field Spectroscopy of NGC 5850    [PDF]

M. Bremer, J. Scharwächter, A. Eckart, J. Zuther, S. Fischer, M. Valencia-S
Here we present the preliminary results of the analysis of VIMOS observations of the central 4.5 kpc of the double-barred galaxy NGC 5850. We use optical diagnostic diagrams to study the main ionization mecahnism across the field of view confirming the LINER nature in the continuum peak location. Also a star-forming (SF) region is found close to it (0.46 kpc), a second SF region is located east of the center (1.6 kpc). Further the data reveals a complex nuclear gas kinematics which is likely to be dominated by the secondary bar.
