MATISSE image of V Hya for the spectral interval 10.50 –11.50 μm. Top: Image reconstructed with SQUEEZE. The white contour levels, labelled with the fraction of the peak intensity, highlight the elongation towards the upper left corner. In the text, this feature is referred to as the “20 mas extension”. Bottom: radial cuts (starting from the central brightest pixel) in the image for different PAs, as indicated.
