| Abstract: The majority of massive galaxies in the Universe are known to host massive black holes at their centres. Accretion of matter onto these supermassive black holes triggers AGN activity, resulting in the release of enormous amounts of energy. This energy output can significantly influence the evolution of the host galaxy. Over the past decade growing observational evidence has revealed a close connection between galaxy evolution and black hole growth. In particular the presence of AGN can alter the star formation processes in their host galaxies via feedback processes. Therefore, understanding the connection between nuclear activity and star formation in galaxies is an important problem in astrophysics today. While the impact of AGN feedback on star formation has been investigated in few massive ellipticals and to a limited extent in dwarf systems, its influence on Low-Ionization Nuclear Emission-line Region (LINER) sources is not yet explored. To address this gap, we have carried out a systematic study of the star formation characteristics of a sample of LINERs. The Observational data for the sample were obtained using the Ultra Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on board AstroSat. We derived key star formation parameters and examined their relation to various host galaxy properties. The results of this study will be presented at the meeting. |
