Electron densities from [S II] lines significantly overestimate the impact of ionized AGN outflows
To explain the properties of the local galaxy population, theoretical models require active galactic nuclei (AGNs to inject energy into host galaxies, thereby expelling outflows of gas that would otherwise form stars. Observational tests of this scenario rely on determining outflow masses, which requires measuring the electron density ( $n_\mathrm{
