Recent investigations of the broad UV lines in luminous QSOs identified strong correlations involving emission-line widths, shifts, equivalent widths, and ratios (Francis et al. 1992; Wills et al. 1993; Brotherton et al. 1994a, b). A simple model developed to explain these trends approximates UV broad lines as emission from two regions, an intermediate-line region (ILR), and a very broad-line region (VBLR), together comprising the traditional broad-line region (BLR). The observed and derived properties for the ILR and VBLR are summarized in Table 1, along with typical values for the narrow-line region (NLR).

AbstractIonization cones are one of the most important pieces of evidence supporting the AGN unified model (Antonucci & Miller 1985; Urry & Padovani 1995). Until now, the physical processes at work in the cones are not completely understood. A still open question concerns the origin of the gas. To study the origin of the ionized gas, we first selected a sample of nearby (z<0.03) Seyfert galaxies showing extended [O iii] λ5007 emission. We then observed these galaxies with the MultiPupil Fiber Spectrograph (MPFS) at the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory (Russia). Here we present very preliminary results on the properties of the narrow-line region (NLR) of the intermediate Seyfert galaxy Mrk 6.
