The relation between the radio jet and the near-IR line emission in Seyfert galaxies
Abstract
We used near-IR integral field spectroscopy, obtained with Gemini NIFS and GNIRS integral field units (IFUs), to map the ionized and molecular flux distributions and kinematics in the central few hundreds of parsecs of Seyfert galaxies. We conclude that the molecular gas emission can be considered a tracer of the feeding of the AGN, while the emission of the ionized gas a tracer of its feedback.
