Figure 2: Grey-scale representations of the position-velocity arrays of [N II]6584 Å line profiles along the slit positions A and B (see Fig. 1) are shown. The line profiles along slit length A over the northerly ridge (marked GL north) and the newly discovered southerly ridge (marked GL south) can be appreciated. The spectral features from the outer shell (marked OS) are distinguished from those of the westerly giant lobe (marked GL west) along slit length B. The systemic heliocentric radial velocity (-26 km s-1) of P Cygni is arrowed. This was given by the central velocity of the OS assuming spherical expansion. |
