Pulling Back the Curtain on Shocks and Star Formation in NGC 1266 with Gemini-NIFS

We present Gemini near-infrared integral field spectrograph K -band observations of the central 400 pc of NGC 1266, a nearby ( D ≈ 30 Mpc) post-starburst galaxy with a powerful multiphase outflow and a shocked interstellar medium. We detect seven H _2 rovibrational emission lines excited thermally t...
