ac, Flux maps obtained by fitting one or two Gaussians to the emission lines (Methods) for [O iii] λλ4949,5007 (a), Hα (b) and [N ii] λλ6548,6583 (c). df, Non-parametric median velocities for [O iii] λλ4949,5007 (d), Hα (e) and [N ii] λλ6548,6583 (f). gi, Interpercentile line widths for [O iii] λλ4949,5007 (g), Hα (h) and [N ii] λλ6548,6583 (i). jl, 10th percentile velocity for [O iii] λλ4949,5007 (j), Hα (k) and [N ii] λλ6548,6583 (l). mo, 90th percentile velocity for [O iii] λλ4949,5007 (m), Hα (n) and [N ii] λλ6548,6583 (o). For GS-10578 (whose continuum emission is highlighted by the red dashed ellipse), most of the emission is from a broad, blueshifted component. Together with information from the BPT diagram (Fig. 3), this is evidence for an AGN-powered outflow.
