Scientific paper

It is not clear whether the large numbers of very low-luminosity LINER-like galactic nuclei are really AGN or not. We propose AXAF observations of the nearest known such objects, most of which have known weak nuclear soft X-ray sources, aimed primarily at (a) testing whether the X-ray sources are compact or extended, and (b) looking for much stronger but absorbed hard X-ray sources. If instead the "activity" is due to some sort of starburst, choosing the very nearest examples should give us the best chance of resolving this activity - even for the most distant objects in our sample, 1kpc is 30 arcsec. We should be able to detect individual X-ray binaries and supernova remnants to approximately 10e37 erg/s.
