X-ray Nature of the Liner Nuclear Sources
We report the results from an homogeneous analysis of the X-ray (Chandra ACIS) data available for a sample of 51 LINER galaxies selected from the catalogue by Carrillo et al. (1999) and representative of the population of bright LINER sources. The nuclear X-ray morphology has been classified attending to their nuclear compactness in the hard band (4.5–8.0 keV) into 2 categories: Active Galactic...
متن کاملFurther Clues to the Nature of Composite LINER/H II Galaxies
We have analyzed new, archival and published high resolution radio and X-ray observations of a sample of composite LINER/H ii galaxies known to exhibit AGN-like properties. Five of the 16 AGN candidates have milliarcsecond-scale detections and are found to display a compact, flat spectrum, high brightness temperature radio core, four of which also exhibit extended radio emission. Five of the ei...
متن کاملMid-infrared and Optical Spectroscopy of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies: a Comparison 1
New tools from Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) mid-infrared spectroscopy have recently become available to determine the power sources of dust-obscured ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). We compare ISO classiications { starburst or active galactic nucleus (AGN) { with classiications from optical spectroscopy, and with optical/near-infrared searches for hidden broad-line regions. The agr...
متن کاملA Radio Census of Nuclear Activity in Nearby Galaxies
In order to determine the incidence of black hole accretion-driven nuclear activity in nearby galaxies, as manifested by their radio emission, we have carried out a high-resolution Multi-Element Radio-Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) survey of LINERs and composite LINER/Hii galaxies from a complete magnitude-limited sample of bright nearby galaxies (Palomar sample) with unknown arcsecond-...
متن کاملA Joint Mid-infrared Spectroscopic and X-ray Imaging Investigation of Liner Galaxies
We present a comprehensive comparative high resolution mid-IR spectroscopic and X-ray imaging investigation of LINERs using archival observations from the ISO-SWS and the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer. Although the sample is heterogenous and incomplete, this is the first comprehensive study of the mid-infrared fine structure line emission of LINERs. These results have been compared ...

New tools from Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) mid-infrared spectroscopy have recently become available to determine the power sources of dust-obscured ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). We compare ISO classifications – starburst or active galactic nucleus (AGN) – with classifications from optical spectroscopy, and with optical/near-infrared searches for hidden broad-line regions.
