Very Extended Ionized Gas Discovered around NGC 1068 with the Circumgalactic Hα Spectrograph

We have performed wide-field, ultra-low-surface-brightness H α emission-line mapping around NGC 1068 with the newly commissioned Circumgalactic H α Spectrograph. NGC 1068 is notable for its active galactic nucleus, which globally ionizes gas in the disk and halo. Line-emitting diffuse ionized gas is...
