Abstract
The ultraluminous infrared Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 231 has been spectrally imaged in the K band with the new three-dimensional MPE integral field spectrometer. The combined images of the H2 emission lines show, for the first time in an ultraluminous infrared galaxy, the presence of an extended circumnuclear structure of hot molecular gas. The H2 emitting region has a size of ~2.4 kpc and a hot molecular gas mass M ~2 × 104 M☉.
