Mid-infrared ISO spectroscopy of NGC 4945

H. W. W. Spoon, J. Koornneef, A. F. M. Moorwood +2

We have observed the central region of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC4945 with the mid-infrared spectrometers SWS and PHT-S aboard ISO. We do not find any evidence for the existen…

Massive star formation and evolution in starburst galaxies: mid-infrared spectroscopy with ISO-SWS

M. D. Thornley, N. M. Forster-Schreiber, D. Lutz +4

We present new ISO-SWS data for a sample of 27 starburst galaxies, and with these data examine the issues of formation and evolution of the most massive stars in starburst galaxies…

Searching for AGN signatures in Mid-IR Spectra: The case of NGC1068

O. Laurent, I. F. Mirabel, V. Charmandaris +3

We present mid-IR observations of the prototypical Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 obtained with ISOCAM between 5 and 16micron. The proximity of this galaxy coupled with the spectro-imag…

Modelling the Infrared continuum of Centaurus A

D. M. Alexander, A. Efstathiou, J. H. Hough +4

We present ISOPHOT_S, ISOSWS and 8 to 13 micron ground based observations of Centaurus A that show prominent PAH and silicate features. These and other data are used to construct a…

The Composition and Distribution of Dust Along the Line of Sight Towards the Galactic Center

J. E. Chiar, A. G. G. M. Tielens, D. C. B. Whittet +5

We discuss the composition of dust and ice along the line of sight to the Galactic Center (GC) based on analysis of mid-infrared spectra (2.4-13 micron) from the Short Wavelength S…

Infrared spectroscopy of NGC 1068: Probing the obscured ionizing AGN continuum

Tal Alexander, Dieter Lutz, Eckhard Sturm +3

The ISO-SWS 2.5-45 um infrared spectroscopic observations of the nucleus of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 1068 (see companion paper) are combined with a compilation of UV to IR narrow e…
