Radio Luminosity Function, Importance of Jet Power, and Radio Properties of Nearby Low-Luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei
N. M. Nagar, H. Falcke, A. S. Wilson
We present the completed results of a high resolution radio imaging survey of all (around 200) low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) in the Palomar spectroscopic Sample of…
Extragalactic water masers in bright IRAS sources
A. Tarchi, C. Henkel, A. B. Peck +3
We report the results of a search for 22 GHz water maser emission in IRAS-bright galaxies, using the 100-m Effelsberg telescope. In particular, we present the details of four new m…
Gigahertz-Peaked Spectrum Radio Sources in Nearby Galaxies
N. M. Nagar, A. S. Wilson, H. Falcke +2
There is now strong evidence that many low-luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs) contain accreting massive black holes and that the nuclear radio emission is dominated by parsec-scale jets laun…
Radio-Variability in Radio-Quiet Quasars and Low-Luminosity AGN
Heino Falcke, Joseph Lehar, Richard Barvainis +2
We report on two surveys of radio-weak AGN to look for radio variability. We find significant variability with an RMS of 10-20% on a timescale of months in radio-quiet and radio-in…
VLA and VLBA observations of compact radio cores in LINER galaxies
Heino Falcke, Luis C. Ho, James S. Ulvestad +2
A VLA survey of nearby LINER galaxies at 15 GHz has revealed the presence of a compact radio core in many sources. The cores seem to be correlated with the optical activity. Follow…
