Spectra of the nucleus of NGC 1042 obtained with a ﹩1^{\prime \prime }\times 1^{\prime \prime }﹩ aperture. The TWIN spectrum is shown with full wavelength coverage, while portions of the high‐resolution UVES spectra are shown as insets. The red UVES spectrum is expanded and truncated vertically to show the profiles of the [N II] λ6548, Hα λ6563, and [N II] λ6583 lines. Note that the Hα profile shows a larger peak flux but narrower base than the [N II] lines.
