Scientific paper

Long slit spectroscopy and imaging of Mkn 423 and Mkn 739 were performed on the 2.2 m and 3.5 m telescopes of the Calar Alto Observatory using both change coupled device (CCD) and photographic detectors. Low and medium resolution spectra (1.8A, 3.5A, 6.0A) together with V images have permitted the demonstration of the merging nature of Mkn 423 and the double structure of the narrow line region (NLR) of its Seyfert component. This last feature has been found also in the NLR of the Seyfert component of Mkn 739, a double system the two components of which are counterrotating.
