Inner region of the residual velocity map after a rotation curve has been removed. Solid lines indicate redshifted velocities with respect to the model [﹩v/v_{\mathrm{max}\,}=1-e^{-\mathrm{ln}\,\left(100\, R/R_{\mathrm{max}\,}\right)}﹩]. Contour spacing is 10 km s−1. Gray scale goes from 10 to 40 km s−1 residual velocities. Regions of blueshifted deviations from the model are indicated as follows: vertical lines indicate velocities ≲−30 km s−1, cross‐hatching indicates −30 to −20 km s−1, and horizontal lines indicate −20 to −10 km s−1. White indicates regions of no deviation from circular velocities. The greatest deviations from circular rotation are found in two ﹩10^{\prime \prime }\times 20^{\prime \prime }﹩ regions west (redshifted) and east (blueshifted) of the center; the small spurs (or rather fractions of spurs) protruding from the western arm also show deviations from circular velocities by up to 40 km s−1. There is also a redshifted region just north of the blueshifted region to the east. The nuclear disk is redshifted with respect to the systemic velocity.
