Food for thought: is there a known galaxy with a relatively bright star (say, r<15) at its center, masquerading as an AGN? The colors should give it away, but a spectrum would be better.

My guess is not in the usual areas where galaxy surveys are done, as they are in the directions of low stellar density (e.g. SDSS is out of the plane of the Milky Way). But I'd guess there probably is one in the galactic plane, and certainly toward the galactic center. Problem there is that we can't see the galaxies for the dust.

Any have an example?
