[HTML][HTML] Orientation effects and the reddening of the lines and continua of Seyfert galaxies

G De Zotti, CM Gaskell�- …�(ISSN 0004-6361), vol. 147, no. 1�…, 1985 - adsabs.harvard.edu
The authors present a compilation of axial ratios and published broad-and narrow-line
Balmer decrements for 109 Seyfert galaxies of all classes. The reddening law they deduce
for the broad-line region is identical to that found by Cheng et al.(1983) from broad-band
colours of Seyferts and the distribution of dust is consistent with that producing the
reddening in normal spiral galaxies. It is found that broad and narrow-line decrements are
not well correlated. There is some evidence that the reddening of Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 1.5�…
