AMUSING++ the largest MUSE galaxy compilation: searching for galactic scale outflows

I present AMUSING++; the largest compilation of nearby galaxies observed with the MUSE integral field spectrograph so far. This collection consists of > 600 galaxies from different MUSE projects covering the redshift interval 0.0002<z<0.1. The sample includes galaxies of almost all morphological types, with good coverage in the color-magnitude diagram, within the stellar mass range between 10^8 to 10^12 Msun, and with properties resembling those of a diameter-selected sample.
The AMUSING++ sample is, therefore, suitable to study at global and local scales the properties of nearby galaxies with unprecedented detail, providing us with more than 50 million individual spectra that sample galaxies at sub kiloparsec scales. We use this compilation to investigate the presence of galactic outflows by exploiting the use of combined emission-line images to explore the shape of the different ionized components and the distribution along classical diagnostic diagrams to disentangle the different ionizing sources across the optical extension of each galaxy. We found that 7% of the sample host galactic outflows (either driven by SF process or due to AGN activity). This fraction is in agreement with studies performed over more complete IFS galaxy surveys (CALIFA, ManGA & SAMI).
