Descripción
The relation between the X-ray, coronal line and IR emission in a sample
of the brightest known Seyfert galaxies is analyzed. A close
relationship between the absorption-corrected soft X-ray emission and
both the mid-IR and the coronal line emission is found for the Seyfert
2-type objects in the sample. The coronal line and X-ray emission both
being main tracers of AGN activity, their relationship with the mid-IR
emission points to the AGN as the main heater of the circumnuclear dust.
On the other hand, the above relations do not appear to hold in the
much-reduced number of Seyfert 1s analyzed in this work. This is partly
due to the fact that the soft X-ray emission in these objects is
systematically larger by at least an order of magnitude than that in the
Seyfert 2 counterparts. Finally, the hard X-ray emission in both Seyfert
types appears to be unrelated to either the mid-IR or the coronal line
emission.
