The Balmer emission originated in the broad line region (BLR) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) could be either weak and difficult to detect, or even absent, for low luminosity AGNs, as LINERs. Our goals in this paper are threefold. First,…
Low-Ionisation Nuclear Emission-line Regions (LINERs) are the least luminous and the most numerous among the local population of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). They can be classified as type-1 or type-2 if their optical spectra show or do…
Type-2 Low-ionization Narrow Emission-line Regions (LINERs) have been optically classified with the Palomar data as not presenting a broad component in the Balmer emission lines associated to the Broad Line Region (BLR) of the Active…
I review the basic properties of low-ionization nuclear emission-line regions (LINERs), as well as the main ionization mechanisms thus far proposed for them. There is substantial heterogeneity among LINERs, especially those with extended…
We study the X-ray properties of LINER sources with definite detection of a broad H(alpha) emission line in their optical spectra, LINER 1s from Ho et al. sample. These objects preferentially harbor a low luminosity active nucleus at the…
This paper compares the optical spectra of a wide range of galaxies categorised as members of the Low Ionisation Nuclear Emission Region (LINER) class of active galactic nuclei (AGN). LINERs are defined by emission spectra with relatively…
Variability is a general property of active galactic nuclei (AGN). At X-rays, the way in which these changes occur is not yet clear. In the particular case of low ionisation nuclear emission line region (LINER) nuclei, variations on…
An unprecedentedly large number of LINERs has been discovered in a recently completed optical spectroscopic survey of nearby galaxies, allowing several statistical properties of the host galaxies and of the line-emitting regions to be…
Our aim is to explore the nature of emission line galaxies by combining high-resolution observations obtained in different bands to understand which objects are powered by an Active Galactic Nucleus(AGN). From the spectroscopic Palomar…
We present a compilation of spectral energy distributions of 35 weak AGNs in LINERs using recent data from the published literature. We make use of previously published compilations of data, after complementing and extending them with more…
LINERs exist in the nuclei of a large fraction of luminous galaxies, but their connection with the AGN phenomenon has remained elusive. We present Hubble Space Telescope narrowband [O III]5007 and H-alpha+[N II] emission-line images of the…
We present modeling and interpretation of the continuum and emission lines for a sample of 51 unobscured Type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN). All of these AGNs have high quality spectra from both XMM-Newton and Sloan Digital Sky Survey…
We present ASCA observations of LINERs without broad H$\alpha$ emission in their optical spectra. The sample of "type 2" LINERs consists of NGC 404, 4111, 4192, 4457, and 4569. We have detected X-ray emission from all the objects except for…
To get insight in the nature of the ionized gas in the nuclear region of LINERs we have performed a study of HST Halpha imaging of 32 LINERs. The main conclusion from this analysis is that for the large majority of LINERs (84%) an…
We analyze HST spectra and Chandra observations of a sample of 21 LINERs, at least 18 of which genuine AGN. We find a correlation between the X-rays and emission lines luminosities, extending over three orders of magnitude and with a…
In this paper we study the properties of the optical spectra of Type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by using the unobscured hard X-ray emission as a diagnostic. We develop the `Correlation Spectrum Technique' (CST) and use this to show the…
With the aim of building a data-set of spectral properties of well studied early-type galaxies showing emission lines, we present intermediate resolution spectra of 50 galaxies in the nearby Universe. The sample, which covers several of the…
Most of the optically classified low ionisation narrow emission-line regions (LINERs) nuclei host an active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, how they fit into the unified model (UM) of AGN is still an open question. The aims of this work are…
We created a sample of nearby QSOs selected from the Hamburg/ESO survey and the Veron-Cetty & Veron catalog, with a limiting redshift of z<0.06, which consists of 63 objects. In this contribution, we present the results of our ISAAC Ks-band…
We present $J$-band ($1.15-1.35 \mu$m) spectroscopy of a sample of nine galaxies showing some degree of LINER activity (classical LINERs, weak-[O {\sc i}] LINERs and transition objects), together with $H$-band spectroscopy for some of them.…
