Scientific paper

In this work we summarize recent results concerning a population of spirals hosting an AGN and at the same type exhibit low surface brightness (LSB) disks. The galaxies, extracted from the SDSS DR-4, show interesting properties suggesting that LSB galaxies dynamically prevent the formation/activation of the central black hole. This stability seems to have roots in the large fraction of dark matter in LSB galaxies and also in the statistical isolation in which they are embedded in the large scale structures.
