Paper
Multi-phase characterization of AGN winds in 5 local type-2 quasars
2023
Overview
We present MEGARA (Multi-Espectrógrafo en GTC de Alta Resolución para Astronomía) Integral Field Unit (IFU) observations of 5 local type-2 quasars (QSO2s, z \\(\\sim 0.1\\)) from the Quasar Feedback (QSOFEED) sample. These active galactic nuclei (AGN) have bolometric luminosities of 10\\(^{45.5-46}\\) erg/s and stellar masses of \\(\\sim\\)10\\(^{11}\\) M\\(_{\\odot}\\). We explore the kinematics of the ionized gas through the [O~III]\\(\\lambda\\)5007 \\(Å\\) emission line. The nuclear spectra of the 5 QSO2s, extracted in a circular aperture of \\(\\sim\\) 1.2\" (\\(\\sim\\) 2.2 kpc) in diameter, show signatures of high velocity winds in the form of broad (full width at half maximum; 1300\\(\\leq\\)FWHM\\(\\leq\\)2240 km/s and blueshifted components. We find that 4 out of the 5 QSO2s present outflows that we can resolve with our seeing-limited data, and they have radii ranging from 3.1 to 12.6 kpc. In the case of the two QSO2s with extended radio emission, we find that it is well-aligned with the outflows, suggesting that low-power jets might be compressing and accelerating the ionized gas in these radio-quiet QSO2s. In the four QSO2s with spatially resolved outflows, we measure ionized mass outflow rates of 3.3-6.5 Msun/yr when we use [S~II]-based densities, and of 0.7-1.6 Msun/yr when trans-auroral line-based densities are considered instead. We compare them with the corresponding molecular mass outflow rates (8 - 16 Msun/yr), derived from CO(2-1) ALMA observations at 0.2\" resolution. Both phases show lower outflow mass rates than those expected from observational scaling relations where uniform assumptions on the outflow properties were adopted. This might be indicating that the AGN luminosity is not the only driver of massive outflows and/or that these relations need to be re-scaled using accurate outflow properties. We do not find a significant impact of the outflows on the global star formation rates.
