Fig. 24

Left: IR8 = /L8
ratio as a function of L8 for X-ray/optical AGN
excluding power-law AGN. Upper panel: as-measured IR8 ratios of the
X-ray/optical AGN. They fall on the same sequence as star-forming galaxies.
Bottom panel: the same galaxies after de-boosting their
IR8 ratios for starburstiness. The galaxies present a slightly different
configuration, but basically remain centered on the trend of star-forming galaxies,
suggesting that in these AGN the IR emission is dominated by star formation.
Right: IR8 ratio as a function of L8
for power-law AGN. Upper panel: as-measured IR8 ratios of the
power-law AGN. They fall on the same sequence as star-forming galaxies, like the
X-ray/optical AGN at left. Bottom panel: the same galaxies after
de-boosting their IR8 ratios for starburstiness. A significant fraction of the
galaxies now fall systematically below the main sequence IR8 ratio, showing that
their 8 μm emission is boosted by the hot dust heated by the AGN.
