Abstract:
We present our results from global VLBI observations of a sample of Seyfert galaxies at 5 GHz. Our goal was to test predictions of the Unified Scheme for Seyfert galaxies, in which observed differences between Seyferts of types I and II can be understood as effects of orientation alone. Our Seyferts of the two types were matched in their orientation-independent AGN and host-galaxy properties so that the Unified Scheme may be rigourously tested. We show that the compact radio structures of the two types of Seyferts are similar, supporting the simple Unified Scheme. The implications of our results are discussed
