Continue Kinematical studies of AGN have been generally focused on the gaseous component (ionised or mollecular gas).  These studies have the potential of revealing the dynamical forces that work on the gas closer to the active nucleus, but they can not trace the gravitational potential.  Moreover, the gas represents only a fraction of the total mass of the galaxy and could be driven by non- gravitational perturbations. We also need to study the kinematical stellar behaviour. The comparison of stellar and gas velocity field may reveal if kinematical perturbations are related to the presence of the activity and/or to other mechanisms (interactions, mergers, bars...).
