Scientific paper

A model for the narrow line region (NLR) of Seyfert nuclei, in which the linear motion of radio-emitting bubbles of plasma ejected from the nucleus drives bowshocks into the ambient nuclear medium is described. The cooled shocked gas, photoionized by the UV nuclear continuum, produces the optical NLR emission. This provides a natural explanation for the relationship between the radio continuum emission and the NLR. This is then applied to the NLR of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5929.
