Mrk 1044’s nuclear region seen in the optical (left) and radio emission (right). Panel (a) shows the surface brightness map of the Hα narrow line emission extracted as described in Paper I. The panels on the right show the broad-band EVLA images of the radio emission in the C-band (b) and X-band (c) with the corresponding FWHM-contour of the beam shown in the lower left corner respectively. The contours of the star forming CNE encompassing the nucleus are shown as black contours (see Paper I). In both C- and X-band the nuclear radio emission is unresolved by VLA.
