Low-Luminosity Seyfert Nuclei
We describe a new sample of Seyfert nuclei discovered during the course of an optical spectroscopic survey of nearby galaxies. The majority of the objects, many recognized for the first time, have luminosities much lower than those of classical Seyferts and populate the faint end of the AGN luminosity function. A significant fraction of the nuclei emit broad Hα emission qualitatively similar to...
متن کاملLINERs AS LOW-LUMINOSITY ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI
Many nearby galaxies contain optical signatures of nuclear activity in the form of LINER nuclei. LINERs may be the weakest and most common manifestation of the quasar phenomenon. The physical origin of this class of objects, however, has been ambiguous. I draw upon a number of recent observations to argue that a significant fraction of LINERs are low-luminosity active galactic nuclei. AGN CENSU...
متن کاملLow Luminosity Radio Loud Active Galactic Nuclei
I review observational properties of low power radio loud AGN. High resolution VLBI observations allow the estimate of the jet velocity and orientation with respect to the line of sight and the determination of the Doppler factor. These data reveal rich structures, including two-sided jets and secondary components. New results on 1144+35, a giant radio source with superluminal motion are shown ...
متن کاملEvidence for Jet Domination of the Nuclear Radio Emission in Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei
We present simultaneous, sub-arcsecond (≤ 50 pc) resolution 5 GHz, 8.4 GHz, and 15 GHz VLAa observations of a well-defined sample of sixteen low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs). The radio emission in most of these nuclei does not show the rising spectrum (0.2. s . 1.3, Lν ∝ νs) expected from thermal electrons in an advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF) with or without weak to mod...
متن کاملOrigin of radio emission from nearby low-luminosity active galactic nuclei
We use the observational data in radio, optical and X-ray wavebands, for a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with measured black hole masses, to explore the origin of radio emission from nearby low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs). The maximal luminosity of an advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF) can be calculated for a given black hole mass, as there is a critical accretio...
