Abstract
We have investigated the relationship between fundamental morphological parameters and nuclear activity in a large sample of nearby galaxies. Homogeneous nuclear types from Ho et al. (1997, ApJS, 112, 315) and a set of bulge and disk parameters from Bagget et al. (1998, AJ, 116, 1626), Sanchez Portal (1996, PhD Thesis, Univ. Autónoma de Madrid) and Boroson (1981, ApJS, 46, 177) have been used. The sample comprises 21 Seyfert 1, 16 Seyfert 2, 90 LINERs, 108 starbursts and 25 normal galaxies. All spirals show nuclear emission lines. Almost all AGNs reside in early-type galaxies (E-Sbc) while starbursts are usually found in late-type spirals.
