Abstract (from CDS):

Red Geysers are galaxies with low-star formation rates and galactic scale ionized outflows likely driven by low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN). We investigated the impact of AGN winds on the oxygen abundance using integral field spectroscopic data from Mapping Nearby Galaxies for Red Geysers, control galaxies (quiescent galaxies without outflows), and AGN hosts within the inner 1.5 kpc radius. Red Geyser galaxies have higher W$_{80}$ values compared to those of AGN and controls, with 64 per cent showing W$_{80}\gt 500$ km s$^{-1}$ that is indicative of outflow. Only 40 per cent of controls and 31 per cent of AGNs reach this value. We found a small tendency of the oxygen abundance distribution of controls to be biased towards higher values than those of Red Geysers. However, Red Geysers do not show a correlation between H$\alpha$ width (parametrized by the W$_{\rm 80}$) and oxygen abundance, which indicates that AGN winds are not significantly impacting the chemical abundance of the nuclear region of these galaxies. The oxygen abundance distribution mean value for the tree samples is $\rm 12+log(O/H)\sim$8.7 ($\mathit{Z}\sim \rm Z_{\odot })$. On the other hand, AGN hosts show a positive correlation between W$_{80}$ and O/H which could be due to star formation that outflows from the active nuclei could induce; or to the reservoir of gas that makes the nucleus active, and its is also used in the star formation.
