Abstract

We present our results using optical integral field spectroscopy of four nearby (z<0.07) radio galaxies obtained with GMOS in Gemini North and South telescopes. The field-of-view probes a circumnuclear region of ≈3.5"×5", with average spatial resolution of ≈0.6". In this presentation, we will resume our results for two galaxies of our sample, Arp 102B and Pictor A, which are already published (Couto et al. 2013, 2016), as well as discuss the preliminary results for the other two, 3C 33 and 4C +29.30. While these galaxies present different characteristics, like radio jet morphology, they display in common signatures of interactions or merger events.
