Description
Feedback induced by the activity of supermassive black holes (SMBH) in
massive galaxies is thought to play a critical role in their evolution.
In particular, the most powerful outflows with the most extreme effects
on the environment are expected in quasars (QSOs). Type 2 QSOs (QSO2)
are the best objects to study the way feedback works since the active
nucleus is obscured allowing one to better study the properties of the
surrounding medium. Ionized outflow are ubiquitous in this kind of
systems at different redshift (z), whose kinematics is identified by the
presence of a broad component characterized by FWHM > 1000 km s^{-1}
and velocity shift vs. ˜several × 100 km s^{-1} with respect
to the narrow (systemic) one. The `radio-induced' mechanism is another
way to feed the AGN, not been sufficiently explored in radio quiet QSOs:
it is known that ionized outflows are also ubiquitous in non radio-loud
QSO2s at different z. The actual size of the outflows and their
efficiency for gas ejection and star formation truncation are
controversial. We have recently proposed that large scale (≥ several
kpc) extended radio structures might be necessary to identify (even to
trigger) outflow signatures across such large spatial scales te{VM17}.
Based on this, we investigated the properties and sizes of the ionized
outflows in a sample 6 SDSS QSO2 at z ˜ 0.3 - 0.5 with known
extended radio structures with the goal of searching for spatially
extended outflow signatures. The study is based on long slit Osiris/GTC
spectroscopy and complemented by FORS2/VLT data te{VM11}.
