Images and PDFs of emission from the central 1 kpc at 7.7, 10, 11.3, and 21 μm for NGC 4321. Top: images of the central 1 kpc in NGC 4321 in each MIRI filter. Middle: pdf’s of inclination-corrected intensity from each image. The colors reflect the common color bar in intensity used to display each image. Bottom: the same PDFs as in the middle row, but now with the y-axis on a logarithmic stretch to highlight features at the high-intensity end.
