Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are traditionally divided into radio-quiet (RQ) and radio-loud (RL). While the origin of the radio emission in RL AGN is well established as synchrotron radiation from energetic particles in jets and lobes, the case for RQ AGN is much less clear. Recently, radio jets have been identified in traditionally considered ?inactive? galaxies. The critical question about these RQ LLAGNs is how energy and radiation are produced in their nuclei. LLAGNs typically show compact radio structures, and it is of fundamental importance to resolve the nuclear emission with a high spatial resolution to investigate the origin of the radio emission. The best way to study nuclear accretion is by observing nearby galaxies. The proximity enables high spatial resolution and high sensitivity observations, allowing the detection of sources of lower luminosity.
