Abstract

High resolution radio and X-ray observations of a subsample of composite LINER/H II galaxies with arcsec-scale radio cores were obtained. These observations yield a 12% detection rate of low luminosity AGN among the entire composite sample in the Palomar survey. Four of these low luminosity AGN also possess sub-parsec jet-like radio extensions. While canonical advection-dominated accretion flows may be repsonsible for the radio and X-ray emission in submillijansky cores like NGC 7331, they do not appear consistent with the radio emission in these milliarcsecond-scale radio cores; the latter sources are more likely to have an energetically important contribution from a radio-emitting jet.
