We present spatially resolved stellar population age maps , average radial profiles and gradients for the first 62 Active Galactic Nuclei ( AGN ) observed with SDSS-IV MaNGA to study the effects of the active nuclei on the star formation history of the host galaxies .
These results , derived using the starlight code , are compared with a control sample of non-active galaxies matching the properties of the AGN hosts .
We find that the fraction of young stellar populations ( SP ) in high-luminosity AGN is higher in the inner ( R \leq 0.5 R _ { e } ) regions when compared with the control sample ; low-luminosity AGN , on the other hand , present very similar fractions of young stars to the control sample hosts for the entire studied range ( 1 R _ { e } ) .
The fraction of intermediate age SP of the AGN hosts increases outwards , with a clear enhancement when compared with the control sample .
The inner region of the galaxies ( AGN and control galaxies ) presents a dominant old SP , whose fraction decreases outwards .
We also compare our results ( differences between AGN and control galaxies ) for the early and late-type hosts and find no significant differences .
In summary , our results suggest that the most luminous AGN seems to have been triggered by a recent supply of gas that has also triggered recent star formation ( t \leq 40 Myrs ) in the central region .
