This study of the activity in the nuclei of normal galaxies began as an investigation into the spread in the observed properties of normal galaxies used as standard candles in measurements of departures from the Hubble flow (Hart & Davies 1982). Extensive studies of the integrated properties of normal galaxies show the influence on these properties of quiescent star formation and embedded starburst-type activity (Staveley-Smith & Davies, 1987,1988). Normal galaxies have a significant level of nuclear activity, although it is not strongly correlated with their integrated properties. This investigation of nuclear activity is based on a sample of the 100 brightest nearby Sbc galaxies, a sample unbiassed in its selection of activity.
