We have measured the radio continuum emission of 396 early-type galaxies brighter than K = 9, using 1.4 GHz imagery from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey, Green Bank 300-ft Telescope and 64-m Parkes Radio Telescope. For M_K < -24 early-type galaxies, the distribution of radio powers at fixed absolute magnitude spans 4 orders of magnitude and the median radio power is proportional to K-band luminosity to the power 2.78\pm0.16. The measured flux densities of M_K < -25.5 early-type galaxies are greater than zero in all cases. It is thus highly likely that the most massive galaxies always host an active galactic nucleus or have recently undergone star formation.

A Jet from a Nearly Dormant Black Hole
Multi-frequency VLBI observations detect a two-sided jet with steep synchrotron spectrum from the nearly dormant SMBH in M60, with frequency-dependent core shift locating the engine ~10 Schwarzschild radii upstream of...
