Massive outflows driven by active galactic nuclei (AGN) are widely recognisedto play a key role in the evolution of galaxies, heating the ambient gas,expelling it from the nuclear regions, and thereby affecting the star formationhistories of the galaxy bulges. It has been proposed that the powerful jets ofrelativistic particles launched by some AGN can both accelerate and heat themolecular gas, which often dominates the mass budgets of the outflows. However,clear evidence for this mechanism in the form of detailed associations betweenthe molecular gas kinematics and features in the radio-emitting jets has beenlacking. Here we show that the warm molecular hydrogen gas in the western radiolobe of the Seyfert galaxy IC5063 is moving at high velocities - up to 600 km/s- relative to the galaxy disk. This suggests that the molecules have beenaccelerated by fast shocks driven into the interstellar medium (ISM) by theexpanding radio jets. These results demonstrate the general feasibility ofaccelerating molecular outflows in fast shocks driven by AGN.
