Scientific paper

We have carried out an extensive radio study on the Seyfert galaxy Mrk6 and imaged a spectacular radio structure consisting of twin bubble-like structures and a radio jet, in the source. To explain the complex morphology, we invoke a model of an episodically-powered precessing jet that changes orientation. This model explains the complicated radio morphology, the spectral index and polarization structure, and also presents an interesting implication for Seyfert activity in general. Radio emission in this scenario is a short-lived phenomenon in the lifetime of a Seyfert galaxy, which results due to an accretion event.
