Scientific paper

We present new broad-band optical images of some merging Seyfert galaxies, that earlier were considered as isolated objects. On deep images obtained at the Russian 6-m telescope, we found elongated tidal envelopes that belong to companions' debris. These structures are invisible on SDSS images. Statistical studies based on popular imaging surveys (POSS or SDSS) can underestimate the fraction of minor mergers among galaxies with active nuclei (AGN). This fact should be taken into consideration in findings of the influence of interactions on nuclear activity.
