Bimodal dust emission in three classical Seyfert galaxies : NGC 3227 , NGC 4051 and NGC 4151 ?

چکیده
Far Infrared observations of the Seyfert galaxies NGC 3227, NGC 4051 and NGC 4151 are presented. These are the first data from a complete sample of Seyfert galaxies that is being observed by ISO as part of the ISOPHOT guaranteed time. The new ISO data, in combination with the IRAS data, show that the mid to far IR emission in all three objects can be ascribed to two well defined regimes, namely a warm dust emitting region which we claim is heated by the emission from the respective active nuclei and a second colder emitting region which we attribute to dust heated in star forming regions.

Prevalence of compact nuclear starbursts in nearby Seyfert galaxies
We present an imaging survey of the CO(1–0), HCN(1–0), and HCO(1–0) lines in the nearby Seyfert galaxies using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array and RAINBOW Interferometer. Some of the observed Seyfert galaxies including NGC 1068, NGC 1097, NGC 5033, and NGC 5194 exhibit strong HCN(1–0) emission on a few 100 pc scales. The observed HCN(1–0)/CO(1–0) and HCN(1–0)/HCO(1–0) line ratios in the Seyfert n...
متن کاملNear - infrared spectroscopy of nearby Seyfert galaxies . I . First results ⋆
We present near-infrared 1.5 – 2.5 µm moderate resolution long-slit spectra of two both parallel to ionization cone or jet and perpendicular to it. The spectra are used to study the spatial extent of the line emission, integrated masses of excited H 2 and the excitation mechanisms of interstellar gas. In all three Seyfert 2 galaxies, [Fe ii] is found to be stronger than Brγ or H 2 1–0 S(1), whi...
متن کاملHigh Spatial Resolution Mid-infrared Observations of Three Seyfert Galaxies
Images at 12.5 lm of nuclei of three nearby Seyfert galaxies—NGC 1275, NGC 4151, and NGC 7469— have been obtained with the 10 m Keck Telescope. NGC 7469 is resolved and deconvolution delineates a structure (<0>04) 0>08, or less than 13 26 pc at a position angle of 135 . From a comparison with structure seen at millimeter wavelengths, this structure is interpreted as a disk aligned with the mole...

Sub-arcsecond IRAM Plateau de Bure mm-interferometric observations of the CO (2-1) line emission in the Seyfert 1 NGC 3227 and the Seyfert 2 NGC 1068 have revealed complex kinematic systems in the inner 100 pc to 300 pc that are not consistent with pure circular motion in the host galaxies. Modeling of these kinematic systems with elliptical orbits in the plane of the host galaxy (representing ...
متن کاملExtended High - Ionization Nuclear Emission - Line Region in the Seyfert Galaxy Ngc 4051
We present an optical spectroscopic analysis of the well-known Seyfert galaxy NGC 4051. The highionization nuclear emission-line region (HINER) traced by [Fe X] λ6374 is found to be spatially extended to a radius of 3 (≈ 150 pc) west and southwest from the nucleus; NGC 4051 is the third example which has an extended HINER. The nuclear spectrum shows that the flux of [Fe X] λ6374 is stronger tha...
