Investigating the impact of quasar-driven outflows on galaxies at redshift 0.3-0.4

Abstract

We present a detailed study of the kinematics of 19 QSO2s in the range 0.3<z<0.41 and [OIII] luminosities $L_{[OIII]}>10^{8.5}$L${}_{\odot }$. We aim at advancing our understanding of the AGN feedback phenomenon by correlating outflow properties with the presence of young stellar populations (YSPs) with ages <100 Myr, the optical morphology and the environment of the galaxies, and the radio luminosity. We characterize the ionized gas kinematics using the [OIII]$\lambda$5007$\mathring{A}$ profiles, through three different outflow detection methods: multi-component parametric and flux-weighted and peak-weighted non-parametric. We detect ionized outflows in 18 QSO2s using the parametric analysis, and in all of them using the non-parametric methods. We find higher outflow masses using the parametric analysis (log M${}_{OF}$(M${}_{\odot }$)=6.47$\pm$0.50), and larger mass rates and kinetic powers with the flux-weighted non-parametric method (M${}_{OF}$=4.0$\pm$4.4 M${}_{\odot }$ yr${}^{-1}$ and log(Ė${}_{kin}$)=41.9$\pm$0.6 erg~s${}^{-1}$). However, it is when we use the parametric method and the maximum outflow velocities that we measure the highest outflow mass rates and kinetic energies (23$\pm$35 M${}_{\odot }$ yr${}^{-1}$ and 42.9$\pm$0.6 erg s${}^{-1}$). We do not find any significant correlation between the outflow properties and the previously mentioned galaxy properties. 4 out of 5 QSO2s without a YS<100 Myr show highly disturbed kinematics, whereas only 5 out of the 14 QSO2s with YSPs show similarly asymmetric [OIII] profiles. This might be indicative of negative feedback. The lack of correlation between the outflow properties and the presence of mergers in different interaction stages might be due to their different dynamical timescales. Lastly, the small radio luminosity range covered by our sample may be impeding the detection of any correlation between radio emission and outflow properties.
