Caption: Figure 1.
(a) Total [S IV] 10.51 μm model surface brightness in each 0.″2 spaxel, in erg s−1 cm−2 arcsec−2. A black, filled circle locates the quasar. The inset shows the spectrum of, and fit to, two spaxels. Surface brightness contours begin at 1 × 10−15 erg s−1 cm−2 arcsec−2 and descend by factors of 2. (b) Model flux reprojected to 2.″3 spaxels, to illustrate the 10× improved resolution of MIRI/MRS compared to the sampling of the Short–High module of the InfraRed Spectrograph on board Spitzer.
