Abstract
The NLR of the Sy 2 galaxy NGC 1068 has been studied with the Hawaii Imaging Fabry-Perot Interferometer on the U. Hawaii 2.2m telescope. Kinematics of [N II] λλ6548,6583 and Ha were mapped across the inner 1′-diameter by obtaining monochromatic images (65 km s−1 FWHM) with a low-noise (5e− RMS) CCD at sub-arcsecond spatial and ∼90 km s−1 effective velocity resolution. Our complete coverage of this nearby (14 Mpc; 1″ = 75 pc), spatially extended NLR allows unprecedented study of the interaction of a collimated radio “jet” (Wilson & Ulvestad 1983) with the warm ionized component of the ambient interstellar medium.
