Abstract
The increasing observational evidence of galactic outflows is considered as a
sign of active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback in action. However, the physical
mechanism responsible for driving the observed outflows remains unclear, and
whether it is due to momentum, energy, or radiation is still a matter of
debate. The observed outflow energetics, in particular the large measured
values of the momentum ratio (
