Observed Spitzer/IRS spectrum (in gray) of NGC 7469. We show the continuum (dashed cyan line) and silicate feature in emission (dotted magenta line) and their sum (black line), as well as the PAH feature spectra (green curve) fit with PAHFIT. We also show the fit PAH feature spectrum (blue and purple curve) when PAHFIT fit was run without the silicate feature in emission. Both the f(11.3 μm)/f(7.7 μm) and f(6.2 μm)/f(7.7 μm) PAH ratios are noticeably lower when the fit includes a component with the silicate feature in emission.
