Abstract (from CDS):

We explore the kinematics of the stars, ionized gas, and warm molecular gas in the Seyfert 2 galaxy Mrk 3 (UGC 3426) on nuclear and galactic scales with Gemini Near-Infrared Field Spectrograph observations, previous Hubble Space Telescope data, and new long-slit spectra from the Apache Point Observatory (APO) 3.5 m telescope. The APO spectra are consistent with our previous suggestion that a galactic-scale gas/dust disk at P.A. = 129°, offset from the major axis of the host S0 galaxy at P.A. = 28°, is responsible for the orientation of the extended narrow-line region. The disk is fed by an H I tidal stream from a gas-rich spiral galaxy (UGC 3422) ∼100 kpc to the NW of Mrk 3 and is ionized by the active galactic nucleus (AGN) to a distance of at least ∼20'' (∼5.4 kpc) from the central supermassive black hole (SMBH). The kinematics within at least 320 pc of the SMBH are dominated by outflows with radial (line-of-sight) velocities up to 1500 km s–1 in the ionized gas and 500 km s–1 in the warm molecular gas, consistent with in situ heating, ionization, and acceleration of ambient gas to produce the narrow-line region outflows. There is a disk of ionized and warm molecular gas within ∼400 pc of the SMBH that has reoriented close to the stellar major axis but is counterrotating, consistent with claims of external fueling of AGNs in S0 galaxies.
