The sample, which has been selected from the Palomar optical spectroscopic survey of nearby galaxies (Ho et al. 1997a, ApJS, 112, 315), covers a wide range of nuclear powers, from L2-10kev ∼ 10 43 erg/s down to very low luminosities (L2-10kev ∼ 1038 erg/s). Best available data from Chandra, XMM-Newton and, in a few cases, ASCA observations have been considered. Thanks to the good spatial resolution available from these observations and a proper modeling of the various spectral components, it has been possible to obtain accurate nuclear X-ray luminosities not contaminated by off-nuclear sources and/or diffuse emission. X-ray luminosities have then been corrected taking into account the likely candidate Compton thick sources, which are a high fraction (>30%) among type 2 Seyferts in our sample. The main result of this study is that we confirm strong linear correlations between 2-10 keV. [OIII]λ5007. H α luminosities which show the same slope as quasars and luminous Seyfert galaxies, independent of the level of nuclear activity displayed. Moreover, despite the wide range of Eddington ratios (L/L Edd) tested here (six orders of magnitude, from 0.1 down to ∼ 10-7), no correlation is found between the X-ray or optical emission line luminosities and the black hole mass. Our results suggest that Seyfert nuclei in our sample are consistent with being a scaled-down version of more luminous AGN. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361:20064894 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/170069 | DOI: | 10.1051/0004-6361:20064894 | Identificadores: | doi: 10.1051/0004-6361:20064894 issn: 0004-6361 e-issn: 1432-0746 |
