Notes. Velocity, mass rate, kinetic energy, and power of the outflow for ionized and molecular gas. These values were calculated for a circular region centered in our FoV. In addition, we calculated the outflow energetics for the outflow near the southern nucleus in the SE direction, discussed in Section 4.3.1.
