Image Details
Caption: Fig. 11.
The ﹩L_{p}﹩−﹩K_{p}﹩ (left) and ﹩M_{s}﹩−﹩L_{p}﹩ (center) color maps (contours) superimposed on the sharpened ﹩K_{p}﹩‐band image (gray scale), and the ﹩L_{p}﹩‐band image (right). In the right panel only the lowest (highest) contours of the ﹩L_{p}﹩−﹩K_{p}﹩ (﹩M_{s}﹩−﹩L_{p}﹩) map are shown. The cross plotted is located at the point where the beams cross at the nebula center and is oriented along at ﹩\mathrm{P.A.}\,=17^{\circ }﹩. Note the similar orientation of the outer and inner equatorial structure probed by the ﹩L_{p}﹩−﹩K_{p}﹩ and ﹩M_{s}﹩−﹩L_{p}﹩ color maps, and the ﹩L_{p}﹩‐band images.
