The KMOS3D Survey: Demographics and Properties of Galactic Outflows at z=0.6-2.7
2019
We present a robust census of ionized gas outflows in normal galaxies at 0.6 11.2, and are roughly twice as common as X-ray detected AGN. The incidence, strength, and velocity of AGN-driven winds strongly correlates with stellar mass and central concentration. Their outflowing ionized gas appears to be denser (n_e ~ 1000 cm^-3), and possibly compressed and shock-excited by hotter wind fluid. These winds have comparable inferred mass loading factors as the SF-driven winds but carry roughly 10 times more momentum and 50 times more energy. The results robustly confirm our previous findings of high duty cycle, energy-driven outflows powered by AGN above the Schechter mass, which may contribute to quench star formation in high mass galaxies at the peak epoch of galaxy formation.
