Disentangling the NLR Structure in Mrk 573 with Integral Field Spectroscopy
Abstract
We present near-infrared emission-line kinematics of the Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 573 using the Near-Infrared Field Spectrograph (NIFS) at Gemini North. By obtaining 2D kinematic maps of the infrared ionized and molecular gas in the circumnuclear region of Mrk 573, we find that kinematics within and surrounding the spatially-resolved Narrow-Line Region (NLR) are largely due to a combination of both rotation and radiative, in situ acceleration of material originating in the host disk. From this analysis, we find that outflowing gas extends to distances less than 1 kpc, suggesting that outflows in this Seyfert galaxy may not be powerful enough to evacuate its entire bulge.
