Notes.
The kinetic energy is K≃ where M is the mass of the component (jet, NW = narrow wind, SW/C = slow wind (also the envelope or cocoon), disk), v its velocity and σ its dispersion. In units of ×1011 M⊙ (pc Myr−1)2. For the SW/C we assume an average outflow velocity of 30 km s−1. The rotational velocity of the disk is assuming an i = 70°. The gravitational energy is
where M is the mass of the component. Units are 1011 M⊙ (pc Myr−1)2. WBH is the gravitational energy of the central SMBH inside renv = 100 pc and Wstar is that of the stellar and envelope system for the same region. The mass of the stars inside r = 100 pc is estimated to 2 × 108 M⊙ from an HST H-band image (HST program GO14728, J Gallagher PI).
