Abstract

We use Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) Integral Field Unit (IFU) observations of the inner 285400 pc region of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5643 to map the [SIII] emission-line flux distribution and kinematics, as well as the stellar kinematics, derived by fitting the CaII8498,8542,8662 triplet, at a spatial resolution of 45 pc. The stellar velocity field shows regular rotation, with a projected velocity of 100 km/s and kinematic major axis along Position Angle . A ring of low stellar velocity dispersion values (70 km/s), attributed to young/intermediate age stellar populations, is seen surrounding the nucleus with radius of 50 pc. We found that the [SIII] flux distribution shows an elongated structure along the east-west direction and its kinematics is dominated by outflows within a bi-cone at an ionized gas outflow rate of 0.3 M yr. In addition, velocity slices across the [SIII] emission-line reveal a kinematic component attributed to rotation of gas in the plane of the galaxy.
