The Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC3079 is one of the nearest radio-weak AGN. We have carried out multi-frequency, multi-epoch VLBI observations of this object and detected new components, proper motion of the order of 0.1 c, strong spectral variability, and free-free absorption. Based on phase-referenced astrometry, we suggest a new identification of components seen at 1.7 GHz. Our results suggest that the nucleus in NGC3079 is embedded in a dense medium which strongly affects the radio appearance of the AGN ejecta. We supplement our work with Seyfert VLBI observations taken from the literature.

  1. When the Shadow Meets Its Measure: Assessing the Feasibility of Submillimeter Black Hole Shadow Imaging in Megamaser Disk AGN

    astro-ph.GA 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    Of 21 megamaser-disk AGN, only NGC 4258 is resolvable on Earth-L2 baselines, and its spin-offset measurement is limited by 22 GHz maser astrometry, not by shadow centroid precision.
