Abstract
We present a mid-IR study of the 12 μm Seyfert sample, using 5-35 μm low-resolution spectroscopy from Spitzer/IRS. Sources in this sample display a wide variety of spectral shapes. We perform an analysis of the continuum emission, the strength of the Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) emission, as well as fine-structure lines, in order to study the mid-IR properties of the local Seyfert galaxies. We find that the equivalent widths of PAHs decrease with increasing dust temperature. We also propose a method to estimate the AGN contribution to the integrated 12 μm emission of the galaxy.
