Characterizing the impact of AGN in galactic kinematics and in ionization mechanisms: a butterfly effect?
Abstract
We propose a comprehensive study on the impact of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the global kinematics and gas ionization mechanisms of spiral galaxies. We compare the Hα and [OIII]λ 5007Å velocity fields and velocity dispersions of the Seyfert galaxy NGC2410 against four non-active control sample galaxies using CALIFA survey datacubes. We found strong differences in the zero-velocity line and velocity dispersion in the central region of AGN. We estimate the region ionized to be 6 kpc radius centered in the optical nucleus.
