Scientific paper

The relationship of an AGN to its host galaxy is a crucial question in the study of galaxy evolution. We perform stellar population synthesis in the central regions of galaxies of different activity levels. A large number of stellar features are measured both in the optical and near-infrared. We find the nuclear stellar population to be related to the level of activity. These differences are no more conspicuous further away in the bulge of the galaxy.
