Low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) often host weak radio jets whose propagation is shaped by the surrounding interstellar medium. We investigate the nearby LLAGN NGC7213 to assess its ability to launch collimated outflows beyond…

We present subarcsecond resolution mid-infrared (MIR) images obtained with 8-10 m-class ground-based telescopes of a complete volume-limited (DL<40 Mpc) sample of 24 Seyfert galaxies selected from the Swift/BAT nine month catalog. We use…

The VLBA and the VLA have been used to image the continuum radio emission from Mrk 231, a Seyfert 1 galaxy and the brightest infrared galaxy in the local universe. The smallest scales reveal a double source less than 2 pc in extent. The…
