NGC 1275, the Perseus cluster cD galaxy, is a well-known Seyfert 1 galaxy and also one of the strongest extragalactic radio sources (3C84). Although many studies have been done on the extended optical emission-line region of NGC 1275, which is thought to be associated with the X-ray cooling-flow phenomenon (e.g., Heckman et al. 1989, Ferruit and Pecontal 1994), the excitation mechanism of the emission-line gas and two-dimensional gas kinematics are still unclear. We made tri-dimensional spectroscopy of NGC 1275 in order to reveal two-dimensional kinematics and- the relation between the gas motion and the excitation of the emission lines.
