Scientific paper

Some studies suggest that type-2 AGN may be a heterogeneous class. The structure and energetics of these AGN are poorly understood because scales <1 pc cannot currently be resolved in optical and X-ray wavebands. However, a small number of type-2 AGN exhibit water megamaser emission, arising in accretion and outflow structures at radii as small as 0.1 pc. Because this emission can be fully resolved on these scales using VLBI, the joint study of megamasers galaxies is important. Only three of ten systems have been studied in detail in radio and X-ray wavebands. We propose to investigate five more systems. We also propose HST narrowband imaging of the narrow line regions of the target AGN to investigate excitation mechanisms.
