Abstract
The starburst model of AGN predicts the supernova rates in the nuclear star clusters of low luminosity AGN to be less than one per year. The compact remnants of these explosions evolve in regions of very high density and thus radiate most of the energy in less than one year. Statistically, therefore, no more than one compact supernova remnant is expected to be active at any given time. The broad line region in the starburst model is produced in the compact supernova remnants so, for low luminosity objects, the BLR will typically consist of only one compact remnant.
