Caption: Figure 6.
TEXES [Ne II] emission in color overlaid on the CO(2-1) SMA channel maps of Santangelo et al. (2009). The panels are labeled by the [Ne II] velocity channel. The SMA channel velocities are within 3 km s−1 of the [Ne II]. The molecular clouds discussed in the text are labeled with Santangelo et al.’s (2009) numbers. The + marks the position of the central nonthermal radio source, posited to be an AGN, in between the eastern and western starforming regions (E and W in the text.) The [Ne II] spectra have been convolved to match the CO(2-1) 2″ beam, and the 5 km s−1 resolution of the CO maps.
