Description
In this work, we study the physical and kinematical properties of the
emission line region of the Seyfert 1.5 galaxy Mrk 817 using three sets
of observations, among which are high-resolution spectra obtained with
the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) on the Canary Islands. We find that, in
Mrk 817, the narrow and broad emission lines (NELs and BELs,
respectively) are very complex, indicating that structure of both the
narrow and broad line region (NLR and BLR, respectively) is complex and
consists of at least two subregions with different kinematical
properties. We find that the BEL can be fitted with the two-component
model, where the core of the line is coming from a spherical region with
isotropic velocity distribution, and wings might be affected by a low
inclined accretion disc (or disc-like emitting region). Also, we discuss
the physical properties of the BLR. Moreover, we find that an outflow is
present in the NLR, which may be driven by an approaching jet.
