Gas Motion Mapping for Three Seyfert Galaxies

Abstract

We report the preliminary results of a kinematical study of three Seyfert galaxies selected from a sample of nearby active galactic nuclei observed using 3D spectroscopy. The observations were performed at the prime focus of the 6 m telescope of SAO RAS with the integral-field spectrograph MPFS and with a scanning Fabry-Pérot interferometer, installed on the multimode device SCORPIO. Based on these data, the monochromatic maps and velocity fields in different emission lines were constructed. We have detected the nuclear outflow or ionized gas motions associated with a radio jet in all the circumnuclear regions of these galaxies.
