2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/14224We review ASCA results on a search for low luminosity active nuclei at the center of nearby normal galaxies. More than a dozen low-luminosity AGN have been discovered with 2-10 keV luminosity in the range 10^{40-41} ergs/s. Their X-ray properties are in some respects similar to those of luminous Seyfert galaxies, but differ in other respects. We also present estimated black hole masses in low luminosity AGNs and a drastic activity decline in the nucleus of the radio galaxy Fornax A. These results altogether suggest that relics of the past luminous AGNs lurk in nearby normal galaxies.8 pages, To appear in the Proceedings of the 3rd INTEGRAL Workshop "The Extreme Universe"Astrophysicstext
