  We have used the VIMOS IFU to map the properties of the Seyfert 1.9 galaxy
LEDA 135736. These maps reveal a number of interesting features including: an
Extended Narrow Line Region detectable out to 9 kpc, an area of intense star
formation located at a projected distance of 12 kpc from the centre, an
elliptical companion galaxy, and kinematic features, aligned along the
long-axis of the ENLR, that are consistent with radio jet-driven mass outflow.
We propose that the ENLR results from extra-planar gas ionized by the AGN, and
that the AGN in turn might be triggered by interaction with the companion
galaxy, which can also explain the burst of star formation and morphological
features. Only about two percent of the ENLR's kinetic energy is in the mass
outflow. We infer from this that the bulk of mechanical energy imparted by the
jet is used to heat this gas.
