Abstract
Low luminosity AGN (LLAGN) represent the vast majority of the AGN population in the near universe. However, they show intrinsic differences when compared to the Unified Model scenario, i.e. a lack of both the big blue bump and the IR bump in their spectral energy distribution (SED), which are the signatures of an accretion disk and a torus, respectively. In this work we present SED for a sample of six LLAGN in the nearby Universe obtained from subarcsec resolution observations. The nature of the IR continuum emission is discussed in the context of non-thermal radiation powered by compact jets.
