Shocking Outflows in Seyfert Galaxies: An Imaging Perspective

Representative results of a search for structures suggestive of shocked gas in the circumnuclear regions of Seyfert galaxies are presented. At issue is whether we can identify regions that appear to be shocked by outflows from the active nucleus. Such regions will be good targets for future spectrophotometric studies to determine what role shocks play in the physics of the AGN/host galaxy interaction.
