Scientific paper

There is now strong evidence that many low-luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs) contain accreting massive black holes and that the nuclear radio emission is dominated by parsec-scale jets launched by these black holes. Here, we present preliminary results on the 1.4 GHz to 667 GHz spectral shape of a well-defined sample of 16 LLAGNs. The LLAGNs have a falling spectrum at high GHz frequencies. Several also show a low-frequency turnover with a peak in the 1-20 GHz range. The results provide further support for jet dominance of the core radio emission. The LLAGNs show intriguing similarities with gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) sources.
