The nature of the IR emission in LLAGN at parsec scales

The vast majority of AGN belong to the low-luminosity class (LLAGN): they exhibit a low radiation effciency (L ≲ 1042 erg s−1; L/Ledd ≲ 10−3) and the absence of the big blue bump in their spectrum, a signature of the accretion disk. The study of LLAGN is a complex task due to the contribution of the...
