Scientific paper

This review summarizes our current understanding of low-luminosity AGNs in the context of the advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF). Special attention is paid to the best investigated source, the supermassive black hole in our galactic center, Sgr A*. ADAF can naturally explain the most important features of these sources such as the low luminosity and the lack of the big blue bump in their spectral energy distribution. The emission from the jet usually dominates over the ADAF in the radio waveband and sometimes in other wavebands as well especially the X-ray
