The large- and small-scale environments around optically-selected AGN host galaxies and a control sample of non-active galaxies in the MaNGA survey have been investigated in order to evaluate the importance of the environment in AGN triggering. Using the MaNGA integral field spectroscopy, we quantify non-circular motions of the ionized gas and detect an excess of radial gas motions in AGN hosts relative to control galaxies, not associated to AGN feedback and are most likely the result of tidal interactions, possibly associated with the triggering of the AGN. We find that the large-scale environments are similar for the AGN hosts and control galaxies in our sample and are biased towards lower large-scale densities and group virial masses, suggestive that the large-scale environment properties is only relevant to the AGN phenomenon in an indirect way, in the form, e.g. of the morphology-density relation. The small-scale environment, as measured by the frequency and luminosity of close neighbours, was also found to be similar for AGN and control galaxies. However, we find a correlation between the intensity of the non-circular gas motions in AGN hosts and the strength of the tidal field, while the control sample does not present such correlation. Also, AGN hosts with the most intense radial gas motions present larger tidal fields than their control galaxies. These findings indicate that at least a fraction of the AGN hosts in our sample have been triggered by tidal interactions with nearby galaxies. (AU) | |
