Evidence of parsec-scale jets in Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei

Understand

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.
• To increase the detection rate of jets in LLAGN, we analyze subarcsecond resolution data of three low-ionization nuclear emission regions.
