Do AGN suppress star formation in disc-dominated galaxies?
Abstract
We present preliminary results of our integral field spectroscopy (IFS) observations to test whether AGN can suppress star formation in disc-dominated galaxies. We find a lower specific star formation rate and a different radial Hα profile for AGN than in the control sample.
