Abstract
A large fraction of otherwise normal galaxies shows weak nuclear activity. One of the signatures of the low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) is the ultraviolet variability which was serendipitously discovered in the center of some low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER) galaxies (see Ho 2008 for a review).
