The ubiquity of AGN winds in Seyfert 1 galaxies at low redshift
  The optical spectra of 3,896 Seyfert~1 (Sy1) galaxies detected with WISE at z
< 0.4 were analyzed for evidence of outflows. In 37% of the Sy1s the outflows
appear as broad, blue-shifted, of the [OIII]5007, with a mean maximum velocity
V_max ~1014 km/s$, consistent with AGN winds. For each Sy1 we deduced that
black hole (BH) mass, bolometric luminosity, Eddington ratio and power-law
index of the continuum, which we compared with the star formation rate (SFR)
and host morphology. Having separated our sample in two spectroscopic
subgroups, Sy1s with only broad Balmer lines (Sy1B) and with both narrow and
broad (Sy1N) lines and distinguishing those that show as outflow (Sy1Bw and
Sy1Nw), we report the following differences: 1) the BH mass is systematically
higher and the power-law steeper in the Sy1B-Sy1Bw than in the Sy1N-Sy1Nw, 2)
V_max is higher in the Sy1Bw than in the Sy1Nw, correlated in both groups with
the BH mass and bolometric luminosity, 3) the Eddington ratio and SFR are
higher in the Sy1 with outflows, and 4) the specific star formation rates
(sSFRs) of the Sy1s are normal for their morphology and mass; typical of
early-type spiral galaxies in the green valley, far from the quenched regime.
From these results we conclude that in Sy1s AGN winds are triggered by higher
accretion rates and probably radiatively launched, and there is no clear
evidence of an effect on the star formation.
