Scientific paper

Recent HST observations suggest that the NLR in Seyfert Galaxies can be the result of interaction between jet and external inhomogeneous medium; following this suggestion we perform numerical simulations considering the impact of a radiative jet on a dense cloud. We approach the problem by adopting a hydrodynamical code, that consents us to study in detail the jet hydrodynamics, while we choose a more simplified treatment of radiative processes, in order to give a qualitatively good interpretation of the emission processes. Our three main purposes are: (i) to reproduce in our simulations the observed physical conditions, (ii) to obtain physical constraints of the jet parameters and (iii) to study the jet capability to photoionize the surrounding medium.
