Stellar and ionized gas kinematics of the interacting Seyfert 1.9 galaxy NGC 2992

Integral field spectroscopy in the central 16" x 12" (2.4 kpc x 1.8 kpc, if H-0 = 75 km s(-1) Mpc(-1)) of the Seyfert 1.9 galaxy NGC 2992 has been obt ained using the fibre system INTEGRAL. The data are mainly used to study th e stellar and ionized gas kinematics. In spite of the photometric disruptio ns in the outer parts (r > 6 kpc) produced by the interaction with its clos e companion (NGC 2993), the present stellar velocity field shows regular ro tation. The ionized gas presents several kinematically distinct components. Apart from the out owing component already reported by other authors, we f ound an additional (high ionization) kinematic component which seems to be associated with the boundaries of the figure-of-eight-shaped emission detec ted in the 6 cm radio map. We locate the hidden nucleus in the apex of the biconical structure defined by the [O III] emission, coincident with the ou t ow origin and with the center of the dust lane. We do not find any clear evidence of direct influence of the interaction in the kinematics of the st ars or the ionized gas in the circumnuclear region of NGC 2992.
