3.3. Circumnuclear regions of active and non-active barred galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
I discuss the role of galactic bars in the fuelling of (circum)nuclear activity. Since the majority of all galaxies are barred, the presence of a bar in a Seyfert galaxy cannot be the sole reason for their activity, although it appears to be a necessary condition for activity. Two options for further work are being explored, high-resolution near-infrared imaging of samples of active and non-active galaxies, and detailed case studies of selected galaxy cores.
