We use the data published in Paper I and Curran et al. (2000) to determine
the global molecular gas luminosities and distributions in a sample of 22 S
eyfert galaxies. From this we find definite differences in the CO to HCN lu
minosity ratios between the near-by and distant galaxies of the sample. Thi
s is perhaps due to a selection effect where we only observe the brightest
of the distant sources. With regard to distributions, we find in the near-b
y (mapped) sample that the CO is usually much wider distributed than the ce
ntral telescope beam and that the HCN is considerably more extended beyond
the similar to1 kpc often cited in the literature. In fact this molecule ha
s been detected as far as approximate to5 kpc from the centre of NGC 1365.
We may also have detected a bar in HCN in NGC 5033. Also, using the data to
complement the results of Curran (2000a), we find L-CO/L-FIR(Sy2) approxim
ate to L-CO/L-FIR(Sy1) i.e. no difference in the molecular gas luminosities
between the two main Seyfert classes. In fact we consider it more meaningf
ul to discuss the differences between the near-by and distant sample (irres
pective of Seyfert type), although both of these samples may show evidence
that much of the far infrared luminosity could arise from an active galacti
c nucleus as opposed to being predominantly due to vigorous star formation.
We do believe, however, that improved statistics would be of little value
in distinguishing between these two scenarios and that future high resoluti
on observations are the key to resolving this issue.
