It is well known that about 10% of galaxies harbour an Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). A debated question is whether the activity influences the stellar population, or inversely, whether the level of activity is induced by the stellar population. By inspection of AGN spectra of low activity level, it is obvious that starlight contributes to a substantial fraction of the light.
