What is the connection between
active and “normal” galactic nuclei? (AGNs and NGNs):
How can SMBHs sleep so quietly?

“normal” nuclei demographics, accretion physics
SMBH history

But....
-what about all those “~1/2’s”?
-many LINERs
have not revealed AGN signatures
![Page 28: The ubiquitous UV murmurs of sleeping supermassive BHs Dani Maoz With: Neil Nagar, Heino Falcke, Andrew Wilson](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c7f5503460f9493509d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Do LINERs have anything to do with the BH?
LINERs can be excited by:
Photoionization by an AGN Ferland & Netzer (1983); Halpern & Steiner (1983); Filippenko & Halpern (1984); Ho et al. (1993)
Photoionization by stars – WR stars: Terlevich & Melnick (1985); O-stars: Filippenko & Terlevich (1992); Shields (1992); Schultz & Fritsch (1994) Young starburst: Barth & Shields (2000)
Post-AGB stars: Binnette et al. (1994); Taniguchi et al. (2000)
Shocks Koski & Osterbrock (1976); Heckman (1980); Aldrovandi & Contini (1984); Dopita & Sutherland (1996)

Maybe SMBHs and LINERs are both common in galactic nuclei but an optical LINER spectrum is not directly related to the accretion process.

So, how to distinguish stellar from nonstellar?
VARIABILITY! (defining characteristic of AGNs)
Monitor in UV a sample of LINERs:

The sample: (all) 17 LINERs with known UV nuclei
L(UV)~10^(39-41) erg/s
Includes all kinds: LINERs 1 / 2, radio / X-ray detected / undetected, AGN-like / starburst-like, pure / transition types.

Summary of results:
1. 11/15 vary significantly on short (month) timescales, typical amplitudes ~10%
2. Correlated variations in 2500 A and 3300 A
3. Long timescale (years-decade) variations common, amplitudes factor few
4. Only 3/17 vary neither on long or short timescales, but even these may be due to sparse sampling
5. All LINER types vary
![Page 45: The ubiquitous UV murmurs of sleeping supermassive BHs Dani Maoz With: Neil Nagar, Heino Falcke, Andrew Wilson](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c7f5503460f9493509d/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Conclusion: LINERs are indeed genuine signposts of nonstellar activity (i.e., AGNs).
SMBHs in most “normal” galaxies are producing (in one way or another) a LINER spectrum.
Variable UV flux gives lower limit on AGN UV luminosity – can constrain accretion models
![Page 46: The ubiquitous UV murmurs of sleeping supermassive BHs Dani Maoz With: Neil Nagar, Heino Falcke, Andrew Wilson](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649c7f5503460f9493509d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Nagar et al. (2001)
ADAFs predict wrong radio slope;
radio emission probably dominated by jets
Also, wrong slope
in X-rays
Terashima & Wilson (2003)
Perhaps UV is also from jets?

Conclusions:
1.Most LINERs are excited by some nonstellar phenomenon near the SMBH (accretion, jets)
2. Sharpens demographic picture and allows probe of accretion process, hence SMBH growth history
3. Possible detection of closest/nearest binary AGN
