We present our discovery of a complex ionized outflow in SDSS J101034.28+372514.7 (J1010+3725), a dust-obscured galaxy (DOG) at z=0.282. The SDSS optical spectrum of J1010+3725 shows five narrow components with one broad component in [O{\,\sc iii}]λ5007, which represents one of the most complex outflow structures observed among dusty active galactic nuclei. Spectrum fitting shows that the five narrow components have a wide range of velocity shifts (from −1475 to +507 km s−1). The possible multiple peaks are also observed in [O{\,\sc iii}]λ4363 and [Ne{\,\sc iii}]λ3868, which allows us to investigate the physical condition of the outflowing gas by comparing the measured emission-line flux ratios with photoionization models. The comparison suggests that the five outflowing components are characterized by high hydrogen densities (≳105 cm−3). Our results imply that the five highly dense gas components may be outflowing with multiple bulk velocities at the innermost part of the narrow-line region in J1010+3725.
