However, it was not until the detection of broad polarized optical emission lines in the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 (Antonucci and Miller 1985) that the unified scenario of Seyfert 2 galaxies as obscured Seyfert 1 galaxies started to be accepted as a working hypothesis.
     NGC 3982 is a barred spiral classified as Seyfert 2 (González Delgado, unpublished; Phillips, Charles, and Baldwin 1983) that, however, presents a UV spectrum with absorption lines (Kinney et al.

 Kotaro's Thesis
Simultaneous HCN and CO observations were carried out toward three post-starbursts (NGC 4736, NGC 5055, and NGC 5195), one Seyfert (NGC 6951) and one LINER (NGC 4826) with the Nobeyama 45 m telescope.
In the circumnuclear region of NGC 6951, no significant enhancement of $R_{\rm HCN/CO}$ is observed at CO peaks, which are interpreted as $x_1/x_2$ orbit crowding regions.
I also find that the $Q$ values in other starbursts NGC 3504 and NGC 6946 are close to or less than unity, whereas the $Q$ values in the post-starburst regions of NGC 4736 and the Galactic center (which is also suggested as a young post-starburst) are significantly larger than unity.
