Jet directions in Seyfert galaxies: Radio continuum imaging data

Abstract

We present the results of VLA A-array 8.46 GHz continuum imaging of 55 Seyfert galaxies (19 Seyfert 1's and 36 Seyfert 2's). These galaxies are part of a larger sample of 88 Seyfert galaxies, selected from mostly isotropic properties, the flux at 60 mum and warm infrared 25 mum to 60 mum colors. These images are used to study the structure of the radio continuum emission of these galaxies and their position angles, in the case of extended sources. These data, combined with information from broad-band B and I observations, have been used to study the orientation of radio jets relative to the plane of their host galaxies (Kinney et al. 2000).
