Ionized Gas Outflows from the MAGNUM Survey: NGC 1365 and NGC 4945
  AGN feedback, acting through strong outflows accelerated in the nuclear
region of AGN hosts, is invoked as a key ingredient for galaxy evolution by
many models to explain the observed BH-galaxy scaling relations. Recently, some
direct observational evidence of radiative mode feedback in action has been
finally found in quasars at $z$>1.5. However, it is not possible to study
outflows in quasars at those redshifts on small scales ($\lesssim$100 pc), as
spatial information is limited by angular resolution. This is instead feasible
in nearby active galaxies, which are ideal laboratories to explore outflow
structure and properties, as well as the effects of AGN on their host galaxies.
In this proceeding we present preliminary results from the MAGNUM survey, which
comprises nearby Seyfert galaxies observed with the integral field spectrograph
VLT/MUSE. We focus on two sources, NGC 1365 and NGC 4945, that exhibit double
conical outflows extending on distances >1 kpc. We disentangle the dominant
contributions to ionization of the various gas components observed in the
central $\sim$5.3 kpc of NGC 1365. An attempt to infer outflow 3D structure in
NGC 4945 is made via simple kinematic modeling, suggesting a hollow cone
geometry.
