The MAGNUM survey: outflows and star formation in ten local Seyfert galaxies with the integral field eye of MUSE

In this talk I will present the first results from the MAGNUM survey (Measuring Active Galactic Nuclei Under MUSE Microscope), which takes advantage of the unprecedented combination of the large field of view and spectral coverage of MUSE so as to carry out a detail study of the interaction of AGN outflows with the host galaxies and of the relation between AGN activity and star formation. The data comprise ten nearby galaxies so far, such as NGC 1365, NGC 1068 and Circinus. The analysis of MUSE data in many different emission lines has allowed to disentangle the various motions of the gas in the central regions of the galaxies (rotation, outflows and inflows), furthermore resolving the structure of the AGN-ionised cone. Other information of the separate phases of the gas (having different temperature, density and ionisation state) has been obtained thanks to the comparison with high resolution X-ray Chandra images. Moreover, possible evidence for star formation triggered by AGN outflows has been observed.
