1210.5447 (George Younes et al.)

Multiwavelength analysis as a probe of accretion and radiative processes in LINERs    [PDF]

George Younes, Delphine Porquet
We study the multiwavelength properties of an optically selected sample of Low Ionization Nuclear Emission-line Regions (LINERs), in an attempt to determine the accretion mechanism powering their central engine. We show how their X-ray spectral characteristics, and their spectral energy distribution compare to luminous AGN, and briefly discuss their connection to their less massive counter-parts galactic black-hole X-ray binaries.
