18 Oct 2020 | | Abstract: | Feedback likely plays a vital role in the formation of dwarf galaxies. While
stellar processes have long been considered the main source of feedback, recent
studies have revealed tantalizing signs of AGN feedback in dwarf galaxies. In
this paper, we report the results from an integral-field spectroscopic study of
a sample of eight dwarf galaxies with known AGN and suspected outflows.
Outflows are detected in seven of them. The outflows are fast, with
50-percentile (median) velocity of up to $sim$240 km s$^{-1}$ and
80-percentile line width reaching $sim$1200 km s$^{-1}$, in clear contrast
with the more quiescent kinematics of the host gas and stellar components. The
outflows are generally spatially extended on a scale of several hundred pc to a
few kpc, although our data do not clearly resolve the outflows in three
targets. The outflows appear to be primarily photoionized by the AGN rather
than shocks or young, massive stars. The kinematics and energetics of these
outflows suggest that they are primarily driven by the AGN, although the star
formation activity in these objects may also contribute to the energy input. A
small but non-negligible portion of the outflowing material likely escapes the
main body of the host galaxy and contributes to the enrichment of the
circumgalactic medium. Overall, the impact of these outflows on their host
galaxies is similar to those taking place in the more luminous AGN in the
low-redshift universe. | | Source: | arXiv, 2010.09008 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
