We present an investigation into the impact of feedback from outflowing UVand X-ray absorbers in nearby z < 0.04 AGN. From studies of the kinematics,physical conditions, and variability of the absorbers in the literature, wecalculate the possible ranges in total mass outflow rate and kinetic luminosityfor each AGN, summed over all of its absorbers. These calculations make use ofvalues (or limits) for the radial locations of the absorbers determined fromvariability, excited-state absorption, and other considerations. From a sampleof 10 Seyfert 1 galaxies with detailed photoionization models for theirabsorbers, we find that 7 have sufficient constraints on the absorber locationsto determine feedback parameters. For the low-luminosity AGN NGC 4395, thesevalues are low, although we do not have sufficient constraints on the X-rayabsorbers to make definitive conclusions. At least 5 of the 6 Seyfert 1s withmoderate bolometric luminosities have mass outflow rates that are 10 - 1000times the mass accretion rates needed to generate their observed luminosities,indicating that most of the mass outflow originates from outside the inneraccretion disk. Three of these (NGC 4051, NGC 3516, and NGC 3783) have kineticluminosities in the range 0.5 to 5% bolometric, which is the range typicallyrequired by feedback models for efficient self-regulation of black-hole andgalactic bulge growth. At least 2 of the other 3 (NGC 5548, NGC 4151, and NGC7469) have kinetic luminosities > 0.1% bolometric, although these values mayincrease if radial locations can be determined for more of the absorbers. Weconclude that the outflowing UV and X-ray absorbers in moderate-luminosity AGNhave the potential to deliver significant feedback to their environments.
