Emission‐line flux ratio diagrams for discrimination between stellar‐photoionized and accretion‐powered sources. [S II] λ6724 represents the sum of λλ6716, 6731. The dotted lines separating H II regions and AGNs are taken from Kewley et al. (2001) and Kauffmann et al. (2003). The filled points represent measurements of the nucleus from the TWIN spectrum through a ﹩1^{\prime \prime }\times 1^{\prime \prime }﹩ aperture. Open points represent off‐nucleus averages for regions along the slit spanning 1.5﹩\arcsec﹩–3﹩\arcsec﹩on both sides of the nucleus. Error bars are not shown when smaller than the data points. The arrows associated with the filled points illustrate how the ratios for the nucleus change after removal of contaminating H II region emission (see text for details).
