Photoionization model calculations suggest the possibility that the coronal line region in Seyfert galaxies may be the result of an interstellar medium exposed to and subsequently photoionized by a “bare” Seyfert nucleus. A series of models are presented in which a “generic” AGN continuum illuminates the low-density phase of the ISM of a spiral galaxy (Korista and Ferland 1988).
