Scientific paper

The presence of broad optical emission lines, indicating the presence of a LLAGN, in a significant subset of LINER galaxies has led to the expansion of the Seyfert 1/Seyfert 2 paradigm to LINER systems. However, the fraction of LINER 2 systems actually powered by LLAGN remains uncertain. This is an excellent problem for Chandra to address, since if a LLAGN (even a highly obscured example) is present then Chandra has the capabilities to identify it. We therefore propose an observation of the LINER 2 galaxy NGC 4111, a known X-ray source with a hitherto ambiguous central engine.
