We report on our combined analysis of HST, VLT/MUSE, VLT/SINFONI, and ALMAobservations of the local Seyfert 2 galaxy, NGC 5728 to investigate in detailthe feeding and feedback of the AGN. The datasets simultaneously probe themorphology, excitation, and kinematics of the stars, ionized gas, and moleculargas over a large range of spatial scales (10 pc--10 kpc). NGC 5728 contains alarge stellar bar which is driving gas along prominent dust lanes to the inner1 kpc where the gas settles into a circumnuclear ring. The ring is stronglystar forming and contains a substantial population of young stars as indicatedby the lowered stellar velocity dispersion and gas excitation consistent withHII regions. We model the kinematics of the ring using the velocity field ofthe CO (2--1) emission and stars and find it is consistent with a rotatingdisk. The outer regions of the disk, where the dust lanes meet the ring, showsignatures of inflow at a rate of 1 M$_{\sun}$ yr$^{-1}$. Inside the ring, weobserve three molecular gas components corresponding to the circular rotationof the outer ring, a warped disk, and the nuclear stellar bar. The AGN isdriving an ionized gas outflow that reaches a radius of 250 pc with a massoutflow rate of 0.08 M$_{\sun}$ yr$^{-1}$ consistent with its luminosity andscaling relations from previous studies. While we observe distinct holes in COemission which could be signs of molecular gas removal, we find that largelythe AGN is not disrupting the structure of the circumnuclear region.
