We present the results on the correlation found between the nuclear 2-10 keV X-ray and radio (at 2 cm, 6 cm and 20 cm) luminosities for a well defined sample of local Seyfert galaxies, suggesting that the accretion flow and the radio source are strongly coupled in these sources. Interestingly, the slope of the correlation is the same found for low luminosity radio galaxies, i.e., objects that are traditionally classified as radio-loud and whose radio emission is ascribed to synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons.

Abstract
We present the results on the correlation found between the nuclear 2-10 keV X-ray and radio (at 2 cm, 6 cm and 20 cm) luminosities for a well defined sample of local Seyfert galaxies, suggesting that the accretion flow and the radio source are strongly coupled in these sources. Interestingly, the slope of the correlation is the same found for low luminosity radio galaxies, i.e., objects that are traditionally classified as radio-loud and whose radio emission is ascribed to synchrotron radiation from relativistic electrons.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
