We perform an exploratory study of the physical properties of accretion flows
and jets in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) by modeling the
spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 12 LLAGNs in low-ionization nuclear
emission-line regions (LINERs). These SEDs we constructed from high-resolution
radio, X-ray and optical/UV observations of the immediate vicinity of the black
hole. We adopt a coupled accretion-jet model comprising an inner
advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF) and an outer standard thin disk. We
present best-fit models in which either the ADAF or the jet dominate the X-ray
emission. Six sources in our sample display an optical-UV excess with respect
to ADAF and jet models; this excess can be explained as emission from the
truncated disk with transition radii 30-225 Rs in four of them. In almost all
sources the optical emission can also be attributed to unresolved, old stellar
clusters with masses ~1E7-1E8 Msun. We find evidence for a correlation between
the accretion rate and jet power and an anti-correlation between the
radio-loudness and the accretion rate. We confirm previous findings that the
radio emission is severely underpredicted by ADAF models and explained by the
relativistic jet. We find evidence for a nonlinear relation between the X-ray
and bolometric luminosities and a slight IR excess in the average model SED
compared to that of quasars. We suggest that the hardness of the X-ray spectrum
can be used to identify the X-ray emission mechanism and discuss directions for
progress in understanding the origin of the X-rays.Comment: Accepted for publication in MNRAS. 27 pages, 22 figures. arXiv admin
