High Resolution VLBI Imaging of Nearby Low Luminosity AGN jets

Content

Low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (LLAGN) represent a unique class of AGN in the local universe. Extensive studies on them are essential for a comprehensive understanding of jet physics, as past research has been biased towards powerful radio sources. In this talk, we will present our recent VLBI studies of two prominent nearby LLAGN, NGC 4261 and M104 (the Sombrero galaxy). The presentation will address the kinematics, collimation, and fundamental physical parameters of the jets, as well as the potential origin of the radio emission at millimeter wavelengths.
