We have obtained data for 41 star forming galaxies in the MUSE Atlas of Disks (MAD) survey with VLT/MUSE. These data allow us, at high resolution of a few 100 pc, to extract ionized gas kinematics ($V, \sigma$) of the centers of nearby star…

The results from deep long-slit spectroscopy of nine edge-on spiral galaxies with known extraplanar line emission are reported. Emission from Halpha, [N II] lambda 6548, 6583, and [S II] lambda 6716, 6731 is detected out to heights of a few…
