Abstract
AbstractWe present recent results from our MAGNUM survey of nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN), which exploits observations from the optical/near-IR integral field spectrograph MUSE at VLT. We detect strongly enhanced line widths in emission line maps of four galaxies perpendicularly to their low-power jets and AGN ionisation cones, indicative of turbulent/outflowing material. The observation of a similar phenomenon in other works suggests that it originates from an interaction mechanism between the jet and the galaxy disc through which it propagates.
Highlights
Ionised outflows are routinely observed in active galactic nuclei (AGN), either powered by the strong AGN radiation pressure or by powerful jets
Turbulence/outflows perpendicular to low-power jets In Fig. 1 we present MUSE maps of two Seyfert galaxies from our survey, IC 5063 and NGC 5643
We have shown MUSE emission-line maps of two nearby Seyfert galaxies from our MAGNUM survey, which - together with two other sources of the sample - exhibit enhanced line velocity widths perpendicularly to their low-power radio jets and ionisation cones, indicative of turbulent/outflowing motions
Summary
Ionised outflows are routinely observed in active galactic nuclei (AGN), either powered by the strong AGN radiation pressure or by powerful jets (see e.g. Fabian 2012). 2. Turbulence/outflows perpendicular to low-power jets In Fig. 1 we present MUSE maps of two Seyfert galaxies from our survey, IC 5063 and NGC 5643.
