AB  - Context. This paper is part of a series involving the AMIGA project (Analysis of the Interstellar Medium of Isolated GAlaxies). This project provides a statistically-significant sample of the most isolated galaxies in the northern sky.
AB  - Aims. We present a study of the nuclear activity in a well-defined sample of the most isolated galaxies (total sample: n = 1050, complete subsample: n = 719) in the local Universe traced by their far-infrared (FIR) and radio continuum emission.
AB  - Methods. We use the well-known radio continuum-FIR correlation to select radio-excess galaxies that are candidates to host an active galactic nucleus (AGN), as well as the FIR colours to find obscured AGN-candidates. We also used the existing...
AB  - Results. A final catalogue of AGN-candidate galaxies has been produced that will provide a baseline for studies on the dependence of activity on the environment. Our sample is mostly radio quiet, consistent with its high content of late-type galaxies....
