Comparison of the λ 1.2-mm emission of NGC 4631 with the Hα emission, which has been smoothed to 6". The dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 4627 is invisible here. Note the large disturbed area in the west with its subsequent “cutoff.” Near the center, the dust and Hα tend to be anticoincident whereas in the outer disk there are clear correspondences.
