Extract

The small group of known Seyfert galaxies (Seyfert 1943) is of interest because it is clear that some violent activity is occurring in the nucleus, and some of the properties suggest a relationship with quasi-stellar sources. The spectrum of a Seyfert galaxy consists of strong, often very broad, emission lines superposed on a continuous spectrum which in some cases shows no absorption-line features. Two of the galaxies, NGC 1068 and 1275, are radio galaxies and the latter is known to be variable at radio frequencies (Dent 1966).
