چکیده
Abstract. High resolution MERLIN 5 GHz observations (0 ′′ . 04) of 7 Seyfert galaxies, selected as the ones previously showing evidence of collimated ejection, have been compared with high resolution archive HST data. The radio maps reveal rich structures in all the galaxies. NGC 2639 and TXFS 2226-184 have multiple knot parsec-scale extended structures, Mrk 1034, Mrk 1210, NGC 4922C and NGC 5506 reveal one-sided jets, while IC 1481 exhibits a jet-like extension. The close correlation between the radio-emitting relativistic plasma and the ionized gas in the inner regions of these galaxies allows us to study in detail the physics close to the center of low luminosity AGN.

AGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کاملThe Nature of Composite LINER/HII Galaxies, As Revealed from High-Resolution VLA Observations
A sample of 37 nearby galaxies displaying composite LINER/H II and pure H II spectra was observed with the VLA in an investigation of the nature of their weak radio emission. The resulting radio contour maps overlaid on optical galaxy images are presented here, together with an extensive literature list and discussion of the individual galaxies. Radio morphological data permit assessment of the...
متن کاملParsec-scale radio structures in the nuclei of four Seyfert galaxies
We present 18-cm radio maps of four Seyfert nuclei, Mrk 1, Mrk 3, Mrk 231 and Mrk 463E, made with the European VLBI Network (EVN). Linear radio structures are present in three out of four sources on scales of ∼100 pc to ∼1 kpc, and the 20-mas beam of the EVN enables us to resolve details within the radio structures on scales of < 10 pc. Mrk 3 was also imaged using MERLIN and the data combined w...
متن کاملJets in AGN – New Results from HST and VLA
This paper summarizes some of our recent projects which try to illuminate the nature and importance of jets associated with active nuclei and compact objects. After a short introduction on jets in radio galaxies and radio loud quasars the paper focuses on jets in other source types, such as radio-quiet quasars, Seyfert and LINER galaxies, and stellar mass black holes. Radio observations of quas...
متن کاملThe X-ray spectrum of NGC 7213 and the Seyfert–LINER connection
We present an XMM-Newton observation of the Seyfert-LINER galaxy NGC 7213. The RGS soft X-ray spectrum is well fitted with a power law plus soft X-ray collisionally ionised thermal plasma (kT = 0.18 −0.01 keV). We confirm the presence of Fe I, XXV and XXVI Kα emission in the EPIC spectrum and set tighter constraints on their equivalent widths of 82 −13, 24 +9 −11 and 24 +10 −13 eV respectively....
