Scientific paper

Results are presented of direct imaging with a CCD detector and long-slit medium- and low-dispersion spectroscopy of the spatially extended narrow-line-emitting gas in the nearby Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1386. The distribution, kinematics, and ionization structure of the excited gas were examined in the regions surrounding the nucleus out to a distance of about 1.0. Results present evidence for a spiral structure in this galaxy and for the presence of H II regions in the disk (supporting the classification of NGC 1386 as a Sa galaxy).
