Abstract:We present the very first wide-field, 11' by 11', optical spectral mapping of M16, one of the most famous star-forming regions in the Galaxy. The data were acquired with the new imaging Fourier transform spectrograph SITELLE mounted on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). We obtained three spectral cubes with a resolving power of 10000 (SN1 filter), 1500(SN2 filter) and 600 (SN3 filter), centered on the iconic Pillars of Creation and the HH 216 flow, covering the main optical nebular emission lines, namely [OII]{lambda}3726,29 (SN1), H{beta}, [OIII]{lambda}4959,5007 (SN2), [NII]{lambda}6548,84, H{alpha}, and ...(more)
