FOS SPECTROSCOPY OF RESOLVED STRUCTURE IN THE NUCLEUS OF NGC-1068

We report the results of FOS spectroscopy of the continuum peak of NGC 1068 in the wavelength range 2200-7000 angstrom. Detailed analysis reveals the emission lines to be complex in shape and to consist of a number of different velocity components. Both the Balmer lines and the strong forbidden lines have a contribution from a component with full width at half-maximum on the order of 2200 km s-1. However, we do not detect the broad H-beta emission observed in polarized light. This implies that the continuum peak is not the mirror which reflects light from the hidden Seyfert 1 nucleus. It could possibly contribute some of the reflected light, but the equivalent width of the H-beta BLR line, if present at all, is much weaker than expected from the ground-based nuclear polarized-flux spectrum.
