central k<strong>in</strong>ematic <strong>and</strong> flux properties are listed <strong>in</strong> Table 3.18; the gas exhibits a<br />

regular rotation profile. See also Bower et al. (1998). The fit to the central spectrum<br />

is not significantly improved the addition of a broad component. Data for this galaxy<br />

are shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 3.15 (see key <strong>in</strong> Figure 3.1 for an explanation of these plots).<br />

NGC 4486 (M87; UGC 7654) This elliptical galaxy has an irregular nuclear dust<br />

morphology. It has a core-jet radio morphology on VLBA <strong>and</strong> VLA scales. The STIS<br />

slits were aligned to trace morphological features <strong>in</strong> the emission l<strong>in</strong>e gas across the<br />

nuclear region of this galaxy. The central k<strong>in</strong>ematic <strong>and</strong> flux properties are listed <strong>in</strong><br />

Table 3.19; the gas exhibits a regular rotation profile. The fit to the central spectrum<br />

is improved by the addition of a broad component. Data for this galaxy are shown<br />

<strong>in</strong> Figure 3.16 (see key <strong>in</strong> Figure 3.1 for an explanation of these plots).<br />

NGC 5127 (UGC 8419) This elliptical peculiar galaxy has a nuclear dust lane<br />

(width : length = 0.25). It has a radio core on VLBA scales <strong>and</strong> a tw<strong>in</strong>-jet morphol-<br />

ogy on VLA scales. The STIS slits were aligned parallel to the galaxy major axis.<br />

The central k<strong>in</strong>ematic <strong>and</strong> flux properties are listed <strong>in</strong> Table 3.20; the gas exhibits a<br />

regular rotation profile. The fit to the central spectrum is not significantly improved<br />

by the addition of a broad component. Data for this galaxy are shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 3.17<br />
