Spectral models for low-luminosity active galactic nuclei in LINERs
Spectral energy distribution data from the paper Nemmen et al. 2014, "Spectral models for low-luminosity active galactic nuclei in LINERs: the role of advection-dominated accretion and jets", published in MNRAS. This dataset includes the observational data and model SEDs published in the paper.

DOI for paper: 10.1093/mnras/stt2388
This notation applies to all files:
- Each filename begins with the name of the galaxy
- `ad` in the filename refers to an ADAF-dominated model
- `jd` in the filename refers to a jet-dominated model
- Extensions `.adaf`, `.ssd`, `.jet` or `.sum` refer to model SEDs
- Extension `.dat` refer to observational data
- Extension `.popstar` refer to the stellar population spectrum
# PDF files
The spectral energy distribution (SED) plots published in the paper, in the PDF format.
# Spectral models: accretion flow and jet
ASCII files with the models for each galactic nucleus, with two columns:
1. log10(nu / Hz)
2. log10(nu * L_nu / erg/s)
The spectral model files end with one of the following extensions: `.adaf`, `.ssd`, `.jet` or `.sum`. Each extension refers to the physical component of the flow which is considered: ADAF (`adaf`), thin accretion disk (`ssd`), relativistic jet (`jet`) or the sum of all components (`sum`).
`ad` refers to an ADAF-dominated model, `jd` refers to a jet-dominated model.
# Spectral model: stellar population
The file `Sed_Mar05_Z_0.02_Age_10.00000000.popstar` corresponds to a stellar population spectrum based on the Bruzual & Charlot models which we plotted with every SED. We fit this spectrum to the optical-UV data for each galaxy, hence deriving the stellar mass.
# Observations
ASCII files containing the observed SED data points for each galaxy. These files end with extensions `.dat`.
Each column in he data files is the following:
1. Frequency (Hz)
2. Observed nu*L_nu (erg/s)
3. nu*L_nu (erg/s)
4. Fractional Uncertainty (Variability)
5. Upper limit? (1-yes, 0-no)
`NGC3998 old.dat` includes a high-frequency UV data point which as suggested by Mike Eracleous I ended up discarding. Please read the paper for more info.
