TL;DR
This study investigates the complex interactions between radio jets and radiation in a high-accretion, radio-quiet AGN, revealing a weak jet-driven outflow with significant ionized gas and radio emission aligned on small scales.
Contribution
It provides a detailed multi-wavelength case study of HE 0040-1105, highlighting the role of weak jets and radiation pressure in AGN outflows, with new insights into their spatial and kinematic properties.
Findings
Ionized gas outflow is spatially offset and dominated by the central 100 pc.
Radio emission shows variability over ~20 years, inconsistent with star formation or coronal emission.
Evidence suggests a weak jet morphology contributing to the outflow dynamics.
Abstract
We present a case study of HE 0040-1105, an unobscured radio-quiet AGN at a high accretion rate (Eddington ratio = 0.19+/-0.04). This particular AGN hosts an ionized gas outflow with the largest spatial offset from its nucleus compared to all other AGNs in the Close AGN Reference Survey (CARS). By combining multi-wavelength observations from VLT/MUSE, HST/WFC3, VLA, and EVN we probe the ionization conditions, gas kinematics, and radio emission from host galaxy scales to the central few pc. We detect four kinematically distinct components, one of which is a spatially unresolved AGN-driven outflow located within the central 500 pc, where it locally dominates the ISM conditions. Its velocity is too low to escape the host galaxy's gravitational potential, and maybe re-accreted onto the central black hole via chaotic cold accretion. We detect compact radio emission in HE 0040-1105,within the…
