Descripción
LINERs have been a class of low-luminosity AGN difficult to explain
under the unified model. It has been claimed
(González-Martín et al. 2009b) that a high percentage of
them are obscured sources. Mid-infrared high spatial resolution data
will bring us the oportunity to study the obscuration of these
intringuing sources. However, these observations have been challenging
due to the faintness of the sources and the inclusion of circumnuclear
emission. Here, we investigate the great potential of the new instrument
CanariCam at GTC. With a preliminary sample of LINERs observed with
VISIR at VLT and T-ReCs at GEMINI we have obtained that LINERs fit into
the relation claimed by Asmus et al. (2011) for AGNs.
