초록
We will present a scenario of the presence of a second AGN in a nearby Seyfert galaxy, NGC 1068. Using VLT/MUSE IFU data, we investigated the complex kinematics of ionized gas in the central region of NGC 1068. Interestingly, at a distance of 180 pc to the northeast from the nucleus of NGC 1068, we detected a kinematical signature of the launching point of AGN gas outflows, which suggests that there would be a second AGN. We will also discuss another supporting evidence of the second AGN based on previous spectropolarimetric results.
