Physical state in the narrow-line region of the classical Seyfert galaxy NGC 7469

  • 1. Sofiiskii Universitet, Sofia, Bulgaria

Description

Based on spectrophotometric data, by decomposition of the observed continuum, the power-law continuum characteristics of the central source are obtained. The behavior of both electron temperature and density in the Narrow-Line Region (NLR) of NGC 7469 is discussed on the basis of thermal and ionization equilibria calculations. The electron temperatures in NLR of the Sy1 galaxies are higher than the Sy2 ones. A possible explanation is the lack of a dense zone close to the central source in the Sy2 galaxies. 13 references
