Title: Emission line outflows in compact radio sources - evidence for AGN-induced feedback 
Authors: J. Holt, C. N. Tadhunter, R. Morganti 
Topic: 4 
Session: oral 

Abstract: There is much evidence to suggest that compact radio sources are 
young radio sources. As such, they are ideal laboratories for studying the 
impact of an AGN on the host galaxy, and vice versa, particularly during 
the early stages of radio source evolution. We will present new optical data 
for a sample of compact radio sources exhibiting extreme outflows in their emission line gas. Using a variety of diagnostic tools, we investigate the 
kinematics, physical conditions and ionisation mechanisms of the ionised gas. 
We determine the mass outflow rates and their significance as an AGN-induced 
feedback mechanism.
