Star formation in Seyfert galaxies

摘要: An analysis of the IRAS data for a sample classical (optically selected) Seyfert galaxies is presented. The fluxes at 25 micron, 60 and 100 micron are found to be uncorrelated or only very weakly correlated with UV/Optical continuum flux near mid IR 3.5 10 microns. To investigate possibility that star formation accounts far flux, measurements compared observations normal spiral galaxies, Starburst galaxies. It shown luminosities colors indistinguishable from those Besides, an order magnitude less luminous than both This indicates produces bulk infrared emission in
