VLA and ATCA observations of the nuclear activity in selected southern Seyfert galaxies

Abstract

This work reports our recent results of an HI line and radio continuum imaging survey of selected southern Active galaxies made with the Very Large Array and the Australian Telescope Compact Array. Radio images are presented and rotation curves for individual galaxies were obtained. The HI total mass content in Seyfert galaxies is larger than those seen in starburst galaxies. Our trends confirm that the infrared luminosity correlates well with the total neutral gas content, which supports the scenario that star formation in the bulges of Seyfert galaxies is considerably higher than in regular late-type galaxies or spirals. We also find a trend between various observational quantities which are also discussed in this work.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
