Descripción
The unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGN) claims that the
properties of AGN depend on the viewing angle of the observer with
respect to a toroidal distribution of dust surrounding the nucleus. Both
the mid-infrared (MIR) attenuation and continuum luminosity are
therefore expected to be related to dust associated with the torus. We
have compiled all the T-ReCS spectra (Gemini observatory) available in
the N-band for 22 AGN: 5 Type-1 and 17 Type-2 AGN. We have used a novel
pipeline called RedCan capable of producing flux- and
wavelength-calibrated spectra for the CanariCam and T-ReCS instruments.
We have also compiled Spitzer/IRS spectra for them. We have studied the
star-formation and obscuration properties of our sample of AGN as seen
in the MIR.
