We present the results of the correlation between the nuclear 2-10 keV X-ray and radio (at 2 cm; 6; cm; and 20 cm) luminosities for a well-defined sample of local Seyfert galaxies. We use a sample of low luminosity radio galaxies (LLRGs) for comparison. In both Seyfert and LLRG samples; X-ray and radio luminosities are significantly correlated over 8 orders of magnitude; indicating that the X-ray and radio emission sources are strongly coupled. Moreover; both samples show a similar regression slope; LX L R0.97; but Seyfert galaxies are three orders of magnitude less luminous in the radio band than LLRGs. This suggests that either similar physical mechanisms are responsible for the observed emission or a combination of different mechanisms ends up producing a similar correlation slope. Indeed; the common belief for LLRG is that both the X-ray and radio emission are likely dominated by a relativistic jet component; while in Seyfert galaxies the X-ray emission probably arises from a disk-corona system and the radio emission is attributed to a jet/outflow component. We investigate the radio loudness issue in the two samples and find that the Seyfert galaxies and the LLRGs show a different distribution of the radio loudness parameters. No correlation is found between the luminosity and the radio loudness; however; the latter is related to the black hole mass and anti-correlated with the Eddington ratio. The dichotomy in the radio loudness between Seyfert and LLRG observed down to low Eddington ratios; L2-10; keV/LEdd; ∼; 10-8; does not support the idea that the origin of the radio loudness is due to a switch in the accretion mode. © ESO2007;
