Abstract
- Aims. We examine the physical conditions of ionised gas in the central kiloparsec(s) of nearby Seyfert galaxies. Our aim is a detailed two-dimensional mapping of optical spectroscopic properties, searching for features in the emission structure and in gas kinematics which would be common to all the active galactic nuclei (AGN) or their class, and which would help us to understand the origin and nature of the circumnuclear gas, and its role in the AGN.
