Aims. We present low-frequency radio imaging and spectral properties of a well defined sample of Seyfert galaxies using GMRT 240/610 MHz dual frequency observations. Radio spectra of Seyfert galaxies over 240 MHz to 5.0 GHz are investigated using 240 MHz, 610 MHz flux densities derived from GMRT, and 1.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz flux densities mainly from published VLA data. We test the predictions of Seyfert unification scheme by comparing the radio properties of Seyfert type 1s and type 2s. Methods. We choose a sample such that the two Seyfert subtypes have matched distributions in parameters that are independent to the orientation of AGN, obscuring torus and the host galaxy. Our sample selection criteria allow us to assume that the two Seyfert subtypes are intrinsically similar within the framework of the unification scheme. Results. The new observations at 240/610 MHz, together with archival observations at 1.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz show that type 1s and type 2s have statistically similar radio luminosity distributions at 240 MHz, 610 MHz, 1.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz. The spectral indices at selected frequency intervals as well as index measured over 240 MHz to 5.0 GHz for the two Seyfert subtypes have similar distributions with median spectral index $/sim$ -0.7, consistent with the synchrotron emission from optically thin plasma. In our snap-shot 240/610 MHz GMRT observations, most of the Seyfert galaxies show primarily an unresolved central radio component, except a few sources in which faint kpc-scale extended emission is apparent at 610 MHz. Our results on the statistical comparison of the multifrequency radio properties of our sample Seyfert galaxies are in agreement with the predictions of the Seyfert unification scheme.
Aims: The unification scheme of Seyfert galaxies predicts that the observed differences between type 1 and type 2 Seyfert galaxies are solely due to the differing orientations of the toroidal-shaped obscuring material around AGN. The observed X-ray s
Diffuse radio emission from galaxy clusters in the form of radio halos and relics are tracers of the shocks and turbulence in the intra-cluster medium. The imprints of the physical processes that govern their origin and evolution can be found in thei
We present the results of multifrequency observations of two asymmetric, Mpc-scale radio sources with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) and the Very Large Array (VLA). The radio luminosity of these two sources, J1211+743 and J1918+742, are i
We present radio observations of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) and combine them with archival multi-frequency observations to understand whether ULIRGs are the progenitors of the powerful ra
We have observed seven nearby large angular sized galaxies at 0.33 GHz using GMRT with angular resolution of $sim10$ and sub-mJy sensitivity. Using archival higher frequency data at 1.4 or $sim$6 GHz, we have then determined their spatially resolved
