next section. Inflow is important in allowing fuel to reach the central engine and processes that take place as the disk settles may be important in allowing that inflow to occur - particularly turbulent viscosity in the disk or dynamical friction between clumps of gas (for example Wada, 2004; Shlosman et al., 1990). 4.4.3 Drivers of unsettled motion There are several sources from which we might expect energy to get deposited into the gas and drive motions out of the settled major plane. Amongst these are interactions with the Jets, twists and warps in the disks and activity resulting from starbursts and mergers. Interactions with jets: In four of the sample galaxies we have located instances where a disturbance occurs in the gas at the location corresponding to the point where the position angle of the radio jet crosses the side slit positions. With the signal-to-noise of the data that we have available this may be merely a coincidence (and the statistics are indeed very poor). However, we present these few examples here as possible hints that we may be able to track down at least one source of non-gravitational disturbance. 176
In the positive offset slit of NGC 4335 a step in the velocity profile of ∼ 150 km s −1 occurs at the position that the jet would cross the disk, this is shown in Figure 4.42. We show an image of the nuclear region of this galaxy with the direction of the jet indicated in Figure 2.13. In the negative offset slit of NGC 7626 a velocity deviation of ∼ 300 km s −1 and a velocity dispersion deviation of ∼ 100 km s −1 occur at the jet location (Figure 4.43). We show an image of the nuclear region of this galaxy with the direction of the jet indicated in Figure 2.21. In NGC 193, effects are seen in both side slits at the jet locations: on the negative offset side a velocity dispersion peak of ∼ 100 km s −1 is visible and in the positive slit a velocity dispersion peak of ∼ 70 km s −1 is accompanied by a small peak in the observed emission line flux (Figure 4.44). We show an image of the nuclear region of this galaxy with the direction of the jet indicated in Figure 2.1. Finally, in the positive offset slit of UGC 12064 (Figure 4.45) a velocity deviation of ∼ 200 km s −1 can be seen at the jet location. We show an image of the nuclear region of this galaxy with the direction of the jet indicated in Figure 2.20. 177
