2D maps of the S7 IFU data for NGC 5728, with spaxels color-coded by fractional contribution in the top panels and the uncertainty in the bottom panels. From left to right, the distributions of H II contribution, AGN contribution, fast-shock contribution, and pure-shock contribution are shown. WiFes IFU was rotated by 135 in the anticlockwise direction in the observation of NGC 5728. The white arrows in the upper right corner denote north and east in the sky. The spaxel with the highest [O III] luminosity, indicating the galaxy center, is marked with a cyan cross.
