Resolving the AGN and host emission in the mid-infrared using a model-independent spectral decomposition

Antonio Hernán-Caballero, Almudena Alonso-Herrero, Evanthia Hatziminaoglou +6

We present results on the spectral decomposition of 118 Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) spectra from local active galactic nuclei (AGN) using a large set of Spitzer/IRS spectra…
