MaNGA AGN dwarf galaxies (MAD) -- II. AGN outflows in dwarf galaxies

Abstract

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) feedback is one of the most important mechanisms in galaxy evolution. It is usually found in massive galaxies and regulates star formation. Although dwarf galaxies are assumed to be regulated by supernova feedback, recent studies show evidence for the presence of AGN outflows and feedback in dwarf galaxies. We investigate the presence of AGN outflows in a sample of 2292 dwarf galaxies with AGN signatures drawn from the MaNGA survey. Thanks to the integral field unit data from MaNGA we are able to spatially resolve these outflows and study their kinematics and energetics. Using the GELATO Python code, we fit the AGN-stacked spectrum of each galaxy, which is the stack of all the spaxels classified as AGN by emission line diagnostic diagrams, and in particular the [OIII]$\lambda$5007Å emission line. If the galaxies show a broad [OIII] emission line component in the stacked spectrum, we run GELATO through all the spaxels that are classified as AGN in the emission line diagnostic diagrams. We find 11 new dwarf galaxies that present outflow signatures based on the presence of a broad [OIII] emission line component. Their velocity W${}_{80}$ (width containing 80$\%$ of the flux of the [OIII]$\lambda$5007Å emission line) ranges from 205 to 566 km s${}^{-1}$ and the kinetic energy rate ranges from $\sim 10^{35}$ to $\sim 10^{39}$ erg s${}^{-1}$. Stellar processes are unlikely to explain these outflow kinetic energy rates in the case of seven dwarf galaxies. We find a correlation between the W${}_{80}$ velocity and the [OIII] luminosity and between the kinetic energy rate of the outflow and the bolometric luminosity spanning from massive to dwarf galaxies. This suggests a similar behavior between the AGN outflows in the dwarf galaxy population with those in massive galaxies.
