MUSE images of Malin 1, showing the integrated white-light image on the top and the zoom in image of the nuclear region in continuum-subtracted Hα on the bottom. The field of view in the top image is 32″ across while the zoom-in image is 10″ across, with that field marked with the white box in the continuum image. The contours in the top figure reflect the contours of the feature shown in the bottom image, and the orange ellipses in both plots represent the bar identified in Saha et al. (2021), with a radius of 2.6″ (∼4 kpc as calculated by Saha et al. 2021) and centred on the central compact source, which is assumed throughout this paper to be the centre of the galaxy based on the peak luminosity. The central and off-centre compact sources have been labelled in the zoom-in image and both images are orientated with north pointing up and east to the left.
