Abstract

We present new imaging at 12.81 and 11.7 mu m of the central similar to 40 '' x 30 '' (similar to 0.7 kpc x 0.5 kpc) of the starburst galaxy M 82. The observations were carried out with the COMICS mid-infrared (mid-IR) imager on the 8.2 m Subaru Telescope, and are diffraction-limited at an angular resolution of
