We collected X-ray and optical images for a X-ray flux-limited, complete sample of 93 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z<0.1, selected from the ROSAT Bright Survey. By modeling the host galaxy and the central AGN, we decompose the optical emission into nuclear, bulge and disk components. We cross-correlated our sample with the NVSS and FIRST radio catalogs, and, due to their limited sky coverage, 53 matches were found. We find that the nuclear optical luminosity, thought to be associated with the accretion disk surrounding the active black hole, correlates with the X-ray luminosity, the radio luminosity, and the black hole mass.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
