High Resolution VLBI Imaging of Nearby Low Luminosity AGN jets

Abstract

Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (LLAGN) represent a unique class of AGN in the local universe. Extensive studies of these objects are essential for a comprehensive understanding of jet physics, as past research has largely focused on more powerful radio sources. In this report, we present our recent VLBI studies of two prominent nearby LLAGN, NGC 4261 and M104 (the Sombrero galaxy). Specifically, we address the kinematics, collimation, and fundamental physical parameters of their jets, and probe the possible origin of the radio emission at millimeter wavelengths.
