Previous studies of the central region of active galaxies show that the molecular and ionized gas have distinct kinematics and flux distributions, with the former dominated by quiescent kinematics characteristic of rotation in the galactic plane and the latter with more disturbed kinematics and apparently extending to larger galactic latitudes. These results suggest that the molecular gas can be a tracer of the feeding of the AGN and the ionized gas a tracer of its feedback (e.g., Riffel et al. 2009, 2008, 2006; Storchi-Bergmann et al. 2009a, b). In the present study we use Gemini NIFS integral field observations of the inner 700×700 pc2 of the Seyfert galaxy Mrk 1066 at a spatial resolution of ~ 35 pc to investigate if the above scenario is also valid for this galaxy.
