We carried out a spectroscopic survey of a sample of 59 Seyfert nuclei (observed both in the northern and in the southern hemisphere) around the stellar absorption lines of Calcium II at 8498.02, 8542.09 and 8662.14 Å (CaT). Our main goal is to determine their stellar velocity dispersions. These measurements, along with photometric information, will allow us to obtain the M/L ratio, useful to determine the nature of the ∼33% of “ambiguous” Seyfert 2.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
