The Central 3 kpc of NGC 5850
  NGC 5850 is a nearby (z=0.0085) early type spiral galaxy classified as LINER.
It is considered as a prototype double-barred system. Our optical Integral
Field Spectroscopic (IFS) data of the central 21x19 arcsec^2 of NGC 5850 show
extended LINER-like emission which we ascribe to the presence of a hot and
evolved stellar population, possibly together with a faint AGN. Additionally
NGC 5850 shows extended `composite' ionization patterns, likely to stem from a
mixture of LINER-like ionization and photoionization by star formation. The
kinematics of the gas deviates strongly from a simple rotational structure.
