Circumnuclear region of NGC 5728. Top left: three colour montage of the ALMA CO (2-1) map (red), HST F160WH-band continuum (green), and VLT/MUSE [OIII] line emission (blue). These show several key components: the ionisation cone, and the molecular gas that is collimating it, and the direct illumination of the circumnuclear disk by the AGN. Top centre: B-H dust structure map (from F438W and F160W HST images; there is no strong line contamination in these filters) showing the dusty circumnuclear disk to the west and a lighter region to the east where the outflow has removed dust from our line of sight. Top right: velocity field of the disk model fitted to the ALMA CO (2-1) kinematics. Bottom: cartoon showing two views to illustrate the complex geometry, highlighting that the ionisation cone strongly intersects the galaxy disk (similar to scenario A in Ramos Almeida et al. 2022). All panels are adapted from, or based on the kinematic modelling of, Shimizu et al. (2019). The cartoon has been slightly updated to better match the spatial distributions.
