- Abstract
We report the analysis of the X-ray data for a sample of 48 LINER nuclei with available X-ray Chandra imaging. In González-Martín et al. 2006 21 objects had enough count rate to make the spectral analysis. Here we enlarge the sample performing the spectral analysis of the XMM-Newton observations of 7 additional galaxies. Our aim is to investigate the physical mechanisms which power the nuclear activity of LINERs. The use of multiwavelength information at radio, UV, optical HST and X-ray lead us to conclude that at least 60% of the LINERs are hosting a low luminosity AGN in their nuclei.
