Helical structures in Seyfert galaxies

arXiv:astro-ph/0111217

Abstract

The Seyfert galaxies with Z-shaped emission filaments in the Narrow Line Region (NLR) are considered. We assume that observable Z-shaped structures and velocity pattern of NLR may be explained as tridimensional helical waves in the ionization cone.
