We present oxygen abundances relative to hydrogen (O/H) in the narrow line regions (NLRs) gas phases of Seyferts 1 (Sy 1s) and Seyferts 2 (Sy 2s) Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). We used fluxes of the optical narrow emission line intensities…

The AGN-host co-evolution issue is investigated here by focusing on the evolution of the [\ion{O}{3}]$\lambda5007$ emission-line profile. In order to simultaneously measure both [\ion{O}{3}] line profile and circumnuclear stellar population…

We analyse the integral-field spectroscopy data for the $\approx10,000$ galaxies in final data release of the MaNGA survey. We identify 188 galaxies for which the emission lines cannot be described by single Gaussian components. These…

NGC 1566 is known for exhibiting recurrent outbursts, which are accompanied by changes in spectral type. The most recent transient event occurred from 2017 to 2019 and was reported to be accompanied by a change in Seyfert classification…

Through an optical campaign performed at the San Pedro Martir (Mexico) Telescope and using the 6dF archive (http://www.aao.gov.au/local/www/6df, Jones et al. 2004), we determine or give a better classification for 8 newly discovered Active…

In this paper we present INTEGRAL observations of 7 AGNs: two newly discovered type 1 Seyferts, IGR J18027-1455 and IGR J21247+5058, and five well known Seyferts, NGC 6814 (type 1.5), Cyg A (Type 2), MCG-05-23-16 (type 2), ESO 103-G035…

We compile a sample of 89 Seyfert galaxies with both [OIV] 25.89 um line luminosities observed by Spitzer IRS and X-ray spectra observed by XMM EPIC. Using [OIV] emission as proxy of AGN intrinsic luminosity, we find that although type 2…
