Nearby Active galaxies

• Some possible topics :

  • The quest for inflow signatures
    • Little work done so far in 3D (mainly by the Integral group)
    • Compare stellar & gaseous kinematics in the central kpc
    • VIMOS IFU, SPIFFI…
  • Stellar populations in Seyfert galaxies
    • History of Seyfert galaxies. Are they different ? Seyfert 1 / 2 ?
    • Mainly long-slit work done so far (2 major groups in the world)
    • IFU with extensive spectral coverage, mounted on a large telescope
  • Excitation conditions of ionized gas in Seyfert galaxies with compact radio emission
    • Get rid of the shocks, study photoionization by the active nucleus alone
    • Line ratio diagnostics, spatially resolved information
    • IFU with extensive spectral coverage, mounted on a large telescope
  • Others…
