  • The starburst-AGN coexistence in local (U)LIRGs makes these galaxies excellent laboratories for the study of stellar and AGN outflows and feedback. Outflows regulate star formation and AGN activity, redistributing gas, dust and metals over large scales in the interstellar and intergalactic media (negative feedback) being also considered to be able to undergo vigorous star formation (positive feedback). In this contribution, I will summarize the results from a search for outflows in a sample of 38 local (U)LIRG systems observed with VIMOS/VLT integral field unit (Cazzoli et al. 2014, 2016). For two galaxies of the sample I will detail the outflow properties and discuss the observational evidence for negative and positive outflow-feedback.
