Preliminary results on the study of the environment of a complete sample of Seyfert galaxies

The results of the study of the environment of a complete sample of Seyfert galaxies taken from the CEA Redshift Survey (Davis et al. 1983; Huchra et al. 1983) are shown. In particular we compare the distribution of the positions of all galaxies located within five diameters, from each Seyfert galaxy of our sample with the analogous distribution observed in a control sample of normal galaxies taken from the Merged Catalogue of Galaxies (hereafter MERCG) (Kogoshvili 1986). This research is based on the analysis of the digitized images of the ''Digitized Sky Survey'' and on the on-line catalogues APM (Automatic Plate Measuring System) and APS (Automated Plate Scanner).
