Using a large sample of 90 Seyfert 2 galaxies (Sy2s) with spectropolarimetric observations, we tested the suggestion that the presence of hidden broad-line regions (HBLRs) in Sy2s is dependent upon the Eddington ratio. The stellar velocity…
The unified model of Seyfert galaxies suggests that there are hidden broad-line regions (HBLRs) in Seyfert 2 galaxies (S2s). However, there is increasing evidence for the appearance of a subclass of S2s lacking of HBLR (non-HBLR S2s). An…
We present a study of the local environment (<200 kpc/h) of 31 Hidden Broad Line Region (HBLR) and 43 non-HBLR Seyfert 2 galaxies (Sy2) in the nearby universe (z<0.04). To compare our findings, we constructed two control samples that match…
We report the results of a spectropolarimetric survey of the CfA and 12micron samples of Seyfert 2 galaxies (S2s). Polarized (hidden) broad line regions (HBLRs) are confirmed in a number of galaxies, and several new cases (F02581-1136, MCG…
We present a compilation of radio, infrared, optical and hard X-ray (2-10kev) data for a sample of 90 Seyfert 2 galaxies(Sy2s) with spectropolarimetric observations (41 Sy2s with detection of polarized broad lines (PBL) and 49 without PBL).…
According to the unified model of active galactic nuclei, Seyfert 2 galaxies are physically the same as Seyfert 1 objects and they possess a broad-line region (BLR), but it is hidden from the observer due to their orientation. In the past…
We build a large sample of Seyfert 2 galaxies (Sy2s) with both optical spectropolarimetric and X-ray data available, in which 29 Sy2s with the detection of polarized broad emission line (PBL) and 25 without. We find that for luminous Sy2s…
We extend the analysis presented in Tran (2001) of a spectropolarimetric survey of the CfA and 12micron samples of Seyfert 2 galaxies (S2s). We confirm that S2s with hidden broad line regions (HBLRs) tend to have hotter circumnuclear dust…
The new $XMM-Newton$ data of seven Seyfert 2 galaxies with optical spectropolarimetric observations are presented. The analysis of 0.5 -- 10 keV spectra shows that all four Seyfert 2 galaxies with polarized broad lines (PBLs) are absorbed…
We present a large sample which contains 45 Seyfert 1 galaxies (Sy1s), 46 hidden broad-line region (HBLR) Seyfert 2 galaxies (Sy2s), 57 non-HBLR Sy2s, and 22 starburst galaxies to distinguish their properties and to seek the possible…
We investigate the ionization mechanisms for hidden broad-line region (HBLR) and non-HBLR Seyfert 2 galaxies by comparing some optical emission line ratios. We note that the [N II]6583/H_alpha ratio of the non-HBLR Seyfert 2 galaxies is…
A sample of X-ray and optically selected narrow emission-line galaxies (769 sources) from the 3XMM catalogue cross-correlated with SDSS (DR9) catalogue has been studied. Narrow-emission line active galactic nuclei (AGN; type-2) have been…
The hidden broad-line regions (BLRs) in Seyfert 2 galaxies, which display broad emission lines (BELs) in their polarized spectra, are a key piece of evidence in support of the unified model for active galactic nuclei (AGNs). However, the…
We study the relation between gaseous absorbing column density (N$_{\rm H}$), infrared colors and detectability of the broad lines in a large sample of Seyfert 2 galaxies(Sy2s). We confirm that Sy2s without polarized broad lines tend to…
The Spitzer high resolution spectra of 72 Seyfert galaxies from the 12$\mu$m Galaxy Sample are presented and discussed. The presence of starburst components in these galaxies can be quantified by powerful mid-IR diagnostics tools (i.e.…
We analyzed a large sample of SDSS spectra of Seyfert galaxies, subdividing Seyfert 1s based on their narrow-to-broad Halpha components. Comparing their narrow-lines (NL) to Seyfert2s in line-ratio diagrams, most of the NL of strong Sy 1.0…
Based on the analysis of a large spectropolarimetric survey of Seyfert 2 galaxies (S2s) from the CfA and 12-micron samples conducted mostly at Lick and Palomar Observatories, it is shown that S2s with hidden BLR (HBLRs) are intrinsically…
We obtained 500-second F606W WFPC2 images of 256 of the nearest (z<0.035) Seyfert 1,Seyfert 2, and starburst galaxies. Less than 10% show tidal features or multiple nuclei. The incidence of inner starburst rings is about 10% in both classes…
In the past few years more and more pieces of evidence have been presented for a revision of the widely accepted Unified Model of Active Galactic Nuclei. A model based solely on orientation cannot explain all the observed phenomenology. In…
In this paper we present evidence suggesting that the absence or presence of Hidden Broad Line Regions (HBLRs) in Seyfert 2 galaxies is regulated by the rate at which matter accretes onto a central supermassive black hole, in units of…
