Abstract

The multiwavelength emission spectrum and associated velocity field of the Seyfert prototype NGC 4151 is modeled. HST data has impressively revealed the existence of a large range of velocities (100 - 1500 \kms) dominating the emitting clouds in the extended emission line region of the galaxy. Following this observational result, a revision of the photoionization modeling approach applied to NGC 4151 is presented. It is concluded that a mixture of radiation dominated clouds and shock dominated clouds are required to explain the multiwavelength line and continuum spectra of the galaxy.
