Spectral flux maps and profile averaged over the number of spaxels for NGC 448. Left panel: reconstructed surface-brightness map of the counter-rotating component. Middle panel: reconstructed surface brightness map of the main component. Right panel: radial profile for both kinematic components, taken through a pseudo slit approximately aligned with the semi-major axis. The black, orange, and blue solid lines illustrate the photometrically derived total, the counter-rotating, and the main component flux contributions, respectively. The blue triangles and the orange diamonds show the flux contribution derived for the counter-rotating and main components, respectively, as derived through our fitting procedure without imposing any constraints.
