GAMA 273514, which contains AGN-like ionization. The top row shows BPT/VO87 emission-line diagrams and the bottom row presents spatial maps colored according to the diagnostic directly above it. There is no clear pattern in any of the spatial maps that suggests true ionization from a central AGN, despite the emission-line diagnostics having a large number of AGN-like spaxels.
