    Low-Ionization Nuclear Emission-Line Regions (LINERs) represent the low luminosity end of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). The main power source of LINERs is the subject of considerable debate in the scientific community today, despite the fact that some Liners show features of mass accretion into a super massive black hole (SMBH). Optical line-ratio diagrams are not conclusive diagnostic tools as they can be explained by different mechanisms, including shocks (Dopita et al. 1997[8]) and photoionization accompanied by outflow resembling accretion (Sabra et al. 2003[23]).
