Scientific paper

We propose to observe with ACIS-S3 (BI) for 40Ks each, four nearby LINER-2 type objects. The optical spectra of two of these objects are found to be reproduced by shocks in gas poor environments based on theoretical models, whereas the other two are classical type-2 LINERS. Our primary goal is to study the nature of this class of objects which has been a matter of debate over the last few years. With these observations we will be able to determine the mechanism which powers these galaxies: distinguish between an advection dominated AGN, a classical AGN, shocks or starburst activity.
