AN IONIZATION CONE IN THE DWARF STARBURST GALAXY NGC 5253

AN IONIZATION CONE IN THE DWARF STARBURST GALAXY NGC 5253

There are few observational constraints on how the escape of ionizing photons from starburst galaxies depends on galactic parameters. Here we report on the first major detection of an ionization cone in NGC 5253, a nearby starburst galaxy. This high-excitation feature is identified by mapping the em...
