We present preliminary interesting results stemming from a study of the nuclear and circum-nuclear regions of a sample of nearby Seyfert galaxies. Integral Field Spectroscopy was applied as a method of investigation, and data were used to analyze the physics of the ionized gas. Reconstructed continuum and emission line images of the observed galaxies revealed the presence of an extended S-shape ionization cone in Mrk 3, a circumnuclear HII star forming region in Mrk 744, and strong shock ionization around the nucleus of NGC 7319.

Abstract
We present preliminary interesting results stemming from a study of the nuclear and circum-nuclear regions of a sample of nearby Seyfert galaxies. Integral Field Spectroscopy was applied as a method of investigation, and data were used to analyze the physics of the ionized gas. Reconstructed continuum and emission line images of the observed galaxies revealed the presence of an extended S-shape ionization cone in Mrk 3, a circumnuclear HII star forming region in Mrk 744, and strong shock ionization around the nucleus of NGC 7319.
