The energetic feedback from supermassive black holes can affect the star formation at the centers of galaxies. Observations combining ultraviolet imaging with optical integral field unit data can search for evidence of active galactic nucleus (AGN) impact on star formation. A pilot study on NGC 3982 shows that star formation is suppressed in the central regions, likely due to negative AGN feedback, while enhanced in the outer regions. This case could provide observational evidence of AGN feedback in a Seyfert galaxy.
The energetic feedback from supermassive black holes can influence star formation at the centres of galaxies. Observational evidence for active galactic nucleus (AGN) impact on star formation can be searched for in galaxies by combining ultraviolet imaging and optical integral field unit data. The ultraviolet flux directly traces recent star formation, and the integral field unit data can reveal dust attenuation, gas ionisation mechanisms, and gas kinematics from the central regions of the galaxy disk. A pilot study on NGC 3982 shows star formation suppression in the central regions of the galaxy, likely due to negative AGN feedback, and enhanced star formation in the outer regions. The case of NGC 3982 could be observational evidence of AGN feedback operating in a Seyfert galaxy.
