Caption: Figure 14.
Distribution of velocity shifts between neighboring STIS pixels as a function of velocity. The chaotic nature of ionized gas kinematics is highlighted with velocity shifts reaching up to ±400 km s−1 between adjacent pixels. Position 1, which encompasses the nucleus, shows predominantly positive velocity shifts, while Positions 2 and 3 exhibit more negative shifts, highlighting the disturbed flow of gas near the AGN.
