AGNIFS survey of local AGN: GMOS-IFU data and outflows in 30 sources
  We analyse optical datacubes of the inner kiloparsec of 30 local ($z\le0.02$)
active galactic nuclei (AGN) hosts that our research group, AGNIFS, has
collected over the past decade via observations with the integral field units
of the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrographs. Spatial resolutions range between
$50~{\rm pc}$ and $300~{\rm pc}$ and spectral coverage is from
$4800~\mathring{A}$ or $5600~\mathring{A}$ to $7000~\mathring{A}$, at velocity
resolutions of $\approx 50~{\rm km~s^{-1}}$. We derive maps of the gas
excitation and kinematics, determine the AGN ionisation axis -- which has
random orientation relative to the galaxy, and the kinematic major axes of the
emitting gas. We find that rotation dominates the gas kinematics in most cases,
but is disturbed by the presence of inflows and outflows. Outflows have been
found in 21 nuclei, usually along the ionisation axis. The gas velocity
dispersion is traced by $W_{80}$ (velocity width encompassing 80 per cent of
the line flux), adopted as a tracer of outflows. In 7 sources $W_{80}$ is
enhanced perpendicularly to the ionisation axis, indicating lateral expansion
of the outflow. We have estimated mass-outflow rates $\dot{M}$ and powers
$\dot{E}$, finding median values of
$\log\,[\dot{M}/({\rm\,M_\odot\,yr^{-1}})]=-2.1_{-1.0}^{+1.6}$ and
$\log\,[\dot{E}/({\rm\,erg\,s^{-1}})]=38.5_{-0.9}^{+1.8}$, respectively. Both
quantities show a mild correlation with the AGN luminosity ($L_{\rm AGN}$).
$\dot{E}$ is of the order of 0.01 $L_{\rm AGN}$ for 4 sources, but much lower
for the majority (9) of the sources, with a median value of
$\log\,[\dot{E}/L_{\rm AGN}]=-5.34_{-0.9}^{+3.2}$ indicating that typical
outflows in the local Universe are unlikely to significantly impact their host
galaxy evolution.
