Scientific paper

We present the results of a Hubble Space Telescope snapshot survey of extended [OIII] emission in a sample of 60 nearby Seyfert galaxies. We compare the results of this survey with predictions from the Unified Model, discuss their implications for photoionization models and the structure of the Narrow Line Region of these galaxies. We also discuss the implications of the observed alignment between the extended [OIII] emitting region and radio jets on the mechanisms responsible for the misalignment of the accretion disk relative to the host galaxy disk.
