Taurus Observations of the Emission-Line Velocity Field of Centaurus A (NGC 5128)

Keith Taylor; P. D. Atherton

Using TAURUS — an Imaging Fabry Perot system in conjunction with the IPCS on the AAT, we have studied the velocity field of the Ha emission line at a spatial resolution of 1.7″ over the dark lane structure of Centaurus A. The derived velocity field is quite symmetrical and strongly suggests that the emission line material is orbiting the elliptical component, as a warped disc.

Digital Processing Of Three-Dimensional Fabry-Perot Data

C. D. Pike; K. Taylor; R. N. Hook; P. D. Atherton

TAURUS is a new Fabry-Perot imaging device, designed to obtain complete, seeing-limited radial velocity field maps of extended line sources. In this paper we describe the data handling and reduction processes necessitated by the large 3 dimensional data arrays created by the device.
