Description
We present the spectral energy distribution (SED) between 10 and 200 mu
m obtained for the prototype narrow-line X-ray galaxy NGC 7582 with
ISOPHOT, the photometer on board the Infrared Space Observatory. The
emission is spatially extended and we separated for the first time the
nuclear and extranuclear infrared SEDs. The nuclear luminosity (L_IR ~
4.5*E(10) L_sun) is dominated by cold (T ~ 32 K) dust emission mainly
due to star formation activity; warm (T ~ 122 K) dust emission is also
present and is probably related to the active nucleus. In addition to a
cold component of 30 K, the extranuclear SED (L_IR ~ 1.7*E(10) L_sun)
shows emission by colder (T ~ 17 K) dust: this very cold component
comprises 90% of the total dust mass of 9.8*E(7) M_sun. Based on
observations with ISO, an ESA project with instruments funded by ESA
Member States (especially the Principal Investigator countries: France,
Germany, Netherlands and the United Kingdom) and with the participation
of ISAS and NASA.
