Testing the Consistency of the Starburst Scenario for Active Galactic Nuclei

  • Chapter
The Nearest Active Galaxies

Abstract

In the frame of the Starburst Model, we show that the evolution of a massive stellar cluster in a high metallicity environment can reproduce the observed emission-line spectrum and the UV-optical Spectral Energy Distribution of the Seyfert 2 galaxies and LINERs. We apply the results of our models to three objects: NGC 5506, NGC 5643 and Mk 348.
