EVN observations of Seyfert galaxies

Abstract

In this contribution, we report on dual-frequency EVN observations of six nuclei of Seyfert galaxies imaged previously at arcsecond resolution with the VLA. These galaxies are part of a distancelimited sample of Seyferts, for which VLBI observations are available only for the brightest objects. Our observations consider for the first time sources with flux density around S ∼ 1 mJy (VLA cores), which represents a significant step to lower flux density levels with respect to previous works. They are thus an important step towards an understanding of the emission mechanism in Seyfert galaxies as a population.
