    Abstract

    Here we present the preliminary results of the analysis of VIMOS observations of the central 4.5 kpc of the double-barred galaxy NGC 5850. We use optical diagnostic diagrams to study the main ionization mecahnism across the field of view confirming the LINER nature in the continuum peak location. Also a star-forming (SF) region is found close to it (0.46kpc), a second SF region is located east of the center (1.6kpc). Further the data reveals a complex nuclear gas kinematics which is likely to be dominated by the secondary bar.
