Invited review to the conference "Issues in Unification of AGNs". Elba, May 2001

Scientific paper

Observations at ultraviolet, optical and near-infrared wavelengths have shown the existence of recent star formation in the nuclear regions of Seyfert 2 (Sy2) galaxies that suggest a connection between the Starburst and the Seyfert phenomenon. According with the standard unified models of AGN circumnuclear starbursts also have to be present (and in the same numbers) in Sy1 as in Sy2 galaxies. This review discuss evidence in favor of the Starburst-AGN connection, as well as possible differences in terms of star formation activity between Sy1 and Sy2, that suggest an alternative interpretation of the Seyfert classification to that proposed by the standard unification model.
