Top: SDSS-r continuum image of IRAS17. The MEGARA-IFU FoV is indicated by a black rectangle. A foreground star (marked with a black star) is visible to the north along with the companion galaxy (indicated by a magenta square) detected by Salomé et al. (2021). The flux intensity map is shown in nanomaggy units (1 nanomaggy = 3.631 μJy). Bottom: Continuum image obtained with MEGARA-IFU within the wavelength range 6770–6840 Å. The flux intensity map is shown in janskys. North is up and east is to the left in both images. The continuum peak emission is marked with a black cross in both panels and corresponds to the AGN position, as supported by its coincidence with the optical AGN position measured by Gaia, the radio emission detected with e-MERLIN at 1.5 GHz (Longinotti et al. 2023), and the CO peak emission (Salomé et al. 2021).
