Description
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.
