Barred Galaxies and Circumnuclear Activity

Abstract

Clues to the question of the origin of nuclear activity are provided by the response of the host galaxy and the surrounding intergalactic medium to the AGN power output. The nature of the rich variety of circumnuclear activity is discussed and particular emphasis is placed on attempts to understand these processes in the active galaxies, both quasars and powerful radio galaxies, which are being discovered at very high redshift. Although extreme in character, these objects give us one of the few direct views we have of galaxies and their formation processes at an early epoch.
