| Abstract: |
I will present the results of recent developments on the study of the orientation of jets relative to nuclear dust disks in radio galaxies and galaxy disks in Seyfert galaxies. I show that the jets are randomly oriented relative to the disks, which seems to be contradictory, since the simplest expectation suggest that the black hole and galaxy disk axes, the source of gas to fuel it, should be aligned and consequently the jets should be perpendicular to the disks. I will discuss the implications of these results for the structure of accretion disks and host galaxy disks, as well as on the processes responsible for feeding the nucleus. |
