Recent studies show that optically selected AGNs often follow the far infrared-to-radio correlation as tightly as star forming galaxies. Most galaxies containing AGNs have their far infrared-to-radio flux ratios indistinguishable from those of the star forming ones, with the exception of Seyfert galaxies. To study this dependence more accurately, international team led by astronomers from National Centre for Nuclear Research and Jagiellonian University used the newest measurements from the AKARI Far-Infrared All Sky Survey to cross-correlate the AKARI data with the NVSS radio catalogue at 1.4 GHz.
