Abstract

We present optical integral field spectroscopy of the elliptical host galaxy of MRC B1733‐ 565 taken with SPIRAL on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Emission-line gas is measured to be rotating about and extended perpendicular to the radio axis. To the south-east, the line emission reaches well beyond the continuum light from the galaxy, ending in a region of enhanced starburst activity, high density and disrupted gas flow. We suggest that this is an interacting gas and dust-rich starburst galaxy from which the AGN host is accreting gas along the extended emission-line region.
