Abundance estimations in the NLRs of Type 2 AGNs

Chemical abundances of the Narrow Line Regions (NLRs) of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are still poorly estimated. It is not clear that the methods developed for the study of the gas phase in HII regions are valid and/or provide accurate/realistic estimations of the NLRs abundances. Here we present...
