Obscuration in LINERs. The narrow line region
We studied the nuclear obscuration of galaxies hosting Low Ionization Narrow Emission Regions (LINERs) based on their X-ray and optical emission. X-ray data show that high obscuration is a common property of LINERs, 50% of them are identified as good candidates to be Compton-thick. From the Hα HST-imaging analysis it is found that the large
