Low-luminosity radio-loud active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of 8th European VLBI Network Symposium — PoS(8thEVN), 2007
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

On the Unification of Low Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesInternational Journal For Multidisciplinary Research, 2023
We have used the distributions of observed radio properties of a subset of AGNs called low luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs) to investigate the relationship between radio-selected BL Lacs (RBLs and XBLs) and Fanaroff-Riley Type I radio galaxies (FRI) in accordance with the unified scheme. Analysis of the core and extended luminosity show that RBLs are more core

The Clustering of Low‐Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2006
Based on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR2 sample, we present a multiparameter analysis of the spatial clustering of nearby active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Estimates of the redshift-space two-point correlation function reveal that Seyferts are less clustered than normal galaxies, while LINERs' clustering amplitude (s0) is consistent with that of ...

Gamma-ray observations of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020
ABSTRACTThe majority of the activity around nearby (z ≈ 0) supermassive black holes is found in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN), the most of them being classified as low-ionization nuclear emission regions. Although these sources are well studied from radio up to X-rays, they are poorly understood in γ-rays.

LINERs as low-luminosity active galactic nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Space Research, 1999
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.

Broadband Modeling of Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei Detected in Gamma Rays [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2021
Abstract Low-luminosity active galactic nuclei are more abundant and closer to us than the luminous ones but harder to explore as they are faint. We have selected the four sources, NGC 315, NGC 4261, NGC 1275, and NGC 4486, which have been detected in γ-rays by Fermi-LAT.

Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1989
I review the basic properties of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) — objects in which activity similar to, but intrinsically milder than, that in QSOs and luminous Seyferts is believed to be present. Until recently, most LLAGNs were first recognized as such and studied at optical wavelengths, but evidence for activity and valuable ...

EVIDENCE OF PARSEC-SCALE JETS IN LOW-LUMINOSITY ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
The nuclear radio emission of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN) is often associated with unresolved cores. In this paper we show that most LLAGN present extended jet radio emission when observed with sufficient angular resolution and sensitivity. They are thus able to power, at least, parsec-scale radio jets.

Are most low-luminosity active galactic nuclei really obscured? [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2009
At low Eddington ratios (?), two effects make it more difficult to detect certain active galactic nuclei (AGN) given a particular set of selection methods. First, even allowing for fixed accretion physics, at low ?AGN become less luminous relative to their hosts, diluting their emission; the magnitude of the dilution depends on host properties and ...
