HST Narrow Band Images of the Ionized Gas in the Nucleus of M87
Abstract
We present HST narrow-band Hα + [N ii] WFPC2 observations of M87. The ionized gas in the nucleus shows surprising morphological structure which we relate to the central engine and to the direction of the jet. This work is supported by NASA grant NAS 5-1630 to the FOS team.
