Unexplored outflows in nearby low luminosity AGNs: the case of NGC 1052
  Outflows play a central role in galaxy evolution shaping the properties of
galaxies. Understanding outflows and their effects in low luminosity AGNs, such
as LINERs, is essential (e.g. they are a numerous AGN population in the local
Universe). We obtained VLT/MUSE and GTC/MEGARA optical IFS-data for NGC1052,
the prototypical LINER. The stars are distributed in a dynamically hot disc,
with a centrally peaked velocity dispersion map and large observed velocity
amplitudes. The ionised gas, probed by the primary component is detected up to
$\sim$30arcsec ($\sim$3.3 kpc) mostly in the polar direction with blue and red
velocities ($\mid$V$\mid$$<$250 km/s). The velocity dispersion map shows a
notable enhancement ($\sigma$$>$90 km/s) crossing the galaxy along the major
axis of rotation in the central 10arcsec. The secondary component has a bipolar
morphology, velocity dispersion larger than 150 km/s and velocities up to 660
km/s. A third component is detected but not spatially resolved. The maps of the
NaD absorption indicate optically thick neutral gas with a velocity field
consistent with a slow rotating disc ($\Delta$V = 77$\pm$12 km/s) but the
velocity dispersion map is off-centred without any counterpart in the flux map.
We found evidence of an ionised gas outflow with mass of 1.6$\pm$0.6 $\times$
10$^{5}$ Msun, and mass rate of 0.4$\pm$0.2 Msun/yr. The outflow is propagating
in a cocoon of gas with enhanced turbulence and might be triggering the onset
of kpc-scale buoyant bubbles (polar emission). Taking into account the energy
and kinetic power of the outflow (1.3$\pm$0.9 $\times$ 10$^{53}$ erg and
8.8$\pm$3.5 $\times$ 10$^{40}$ erg/s, respectively) as well as its alignment
with both the jet and the cocoon, and that the gas is collisionally ionised, we
consider that the outflow is jet-powered, although some contribution from the
AGN is possible.
