Abstract:

Using VLBI images of a rigorously selected sample of Seyfert galaxies, we show that the radio properties of the compact pc-scale features are consistent with the standard Unified Scheme, with no significant evidence for relativistic beaming. Some detected pc-scale features could be termination points of the jets. We find that the correlation of linear size with luminosity for the sample may swamp size differences between pole-on and edge-on AGN structures.
