HST images of B2 radio galaxies: the link between circum-nuclear dust and radio properties

Abstract

We discuss HST images in V and I of radio galaxies selected from the B2 sample of low luminosity radio galaxies. Absorption maps were constructed which highlight the presence of circumnuclear dust on scales of typically few kpc or less.
