    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. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
