Abstract:
The occurrence of Seyfert galaxies in 6 samples representative of
different cosmological environments (i.e. isolated pairs, compact and
loose groups) is analysed. To avoid biases linked to subjective sample
selection criteria only canonical samples, taken from the literature,
are considered. It is found that the average frequency of Seyferts in
all samples, is near 2%. Most Seyferts lying in pairs and compact
groups show disturbed morphological appearance, whilst in loose groups
disturbed and ``isolated'' Seyferts have roughly the same proportion.
Then, within each sample, structures which host a Seyfert are compared
to structures which do not. No appreciable differences regarding
dynamical properties are found.

Note (2): Seyfert type is from Veron & Veron (1996, Cat. VII/207) catalog
Note (3): Identification and number as from the original reference.
Note (4): Morphological peculiarity has been derived via visual inspection of
DSS and (in a few cases) of CCD R images taken at
Loiano 152cm telescope.
