Optical and Radio Imaging of an Infrared Selected Sample of Seyfert Galaxies
Abstract
We will present the results of a VLA A-array 3.6cm and ground-based B and I imaging study of a sample of Seyfert galaxies (29 Seyfert 1's and 59 Seyfert 2's), selected by a mostly isotropic property, the flux at 60μ m, and warm infrared colors. Since this selection procedure is almost independent of the torus orientation, which according to models emits nearly isotropically at 60μ m, this is one of the best samples available to compare the properties of Seyfert 1's and Seyfert 2's and test the Unified Model. We will present the results of the comparison between the inclination of the host galaxies of Seyfert 1's and 2's, the extent of their radio emission, and the frequency of companions.
