| Abstract : | Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and its jet can influence the star formation activities of the host galaxy via radiation energy or mechanical outflows. This energy may quench (negative AGN feedback) or enhance the star formation (positive AGN feedback). This feedback, in turn, can affect the activity of AGN. However, observational evidence for such feedback effects is very limited. The emission in the ultra-violet (UV) band of the electromagnetic spectrum is one of the direct tracers of recent star formation. We have initiated the study of AGN feedback in two of the nearby active galaxies, NGC 1097 and NGC 1566. We utilized UV observations from UltraViolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard AstroSat and Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) and derived the radial profile of the UV SFR density and spatially resolved NUV-FUV magnitude diagram to infer the star formation properties in these AGN host galaxies. The major findings of this study will be presented here. |
