| Description |
This proposal is to obtain PACS spectroscopy of 10 bright Seyfert nuclei
to observe the 6 ionic fine-structure lines, four high-J CO lines and three
OH doublets. The selected targets include four AGN1.s (two Seyfert 1.s
and two HBLR-Seyfert 2.s), three AGN2.s and three lower activity objects.
These objects have been chosen because they are the brightest at
60-100 micron, their luminosity has been separated between AGN and
Starburst components through mid-IR spectroscopy.
The immediate goals are to obtain a large set of FIR tracers to be able to
classify and model the various levels of non-thermal and starburst
activity in local Seyferts, using both atomic (Herschel and Spitzer) and
molecular (Herschel and H2 from Spitzer) transitions. The mid-to far-IR
classification of activity in galaxies will be essential in the close future to
interpret the spectroscopic surveys at long wavelength that will be
performed by Herschel, ALMA and SPICA.
The range spectroscopy with PACS has been optimized to allow detection
of 4 CO lines, 3 OH doublets and 6 fine structure lines in a total time of
14.0 hours. |
