LINERs are the most common AGNs in the local universe but their FIR properties are only poorly known. It is believed that most such nuclear emission line regions are situated in hosts with old stellar population and are different from high ionization Seyfert galaxies that show much higher star formation rate (SFR). Recently we found, using Herschel/PACS, that this is not the case in a sample of z=0.3 LINERs that are more luminous than the best studied local LINERs. Many of these sources show L(FIR) as large as 10^11 Lsun and their H-alpha line is extremely week suggesting unusual extinction or a decaying starburst. This proposal suggests a systematic Herschel/PACS study of the most luminous 0.05

Mission Description
Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009! It is the fourth cornerstone mission in the ESA science programme. With a 3.5 m Cassegrain telescope it is the largest space telescope ever launched. It is performing photometry and spectroscopy in approximately the 55-671 µm range, bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities.
