Scientific paper

The authors search for possible correlations between luminosity, extinction, and morphological-related properties of 246 Seyfert and starburst galaxies. In particular, they investigate the relation between [O III] λ5007 profile asymmetry and dust-related signatures, and between line and continuum luminosities and tidal perturbations on the host galaxies. Line asymmetry is well-correlated with Hα/Hβ flux ratios in Seyfert 2's, and with 60 μm/[O III] λ5007 flux ratios in both Seyfert types, which suggest that the media responsible for emission-line attenuation, for profile asymmetry, and for far-infrared emission are intimately related. There is also a positive correlation between soft X-ray luminosities and optical reddening for Seyfert 2's and a negative correlation for Seyfert 1's. No similar correlations were found in the starburst sample.
