cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesinfrared-sourcesactive-galactic-nucleih-ii-regionsMid-infrared diagnostics are presented for a large portion of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS) sample plus archival data from ISO and Spitzer. The SINGS data set includes low- and high-resolution spectral maps and broadband imaging in the infrared for over 160 nuclear and extranuclear regions within 75 nearby galaxies spanning a wide range of morphologies, metallicities, luminosities, and star formation rates. Our main result is that these mid-infrared diagnostics effectively constrain a targets dominant power source. The combination of a high-ionization line index and PAH strength serves as an efficient discriminant between AGNs and star-forming nuclei, confirming progress made with ISO spectroscopy on starbursting and ultraluminous infrared galaxies. The sensitivity of Spitzer allows us to probe fainter nuclear and star-forming regions within galaxy disks.2006ApJ...646..161Dhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/646/161CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/646/161https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/646/161http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/646/161https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/646/161https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/646/161http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/646/161GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/646/161/table3 (Archival Sources)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/646/161/table3?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/646/161/table3?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/646/161/table3?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true84.9304167-69.64750.0055555555555555566/245 1701 1848 2229 3311 3506 3639 3649 3730 6098 7424 7552 7606 7869 7921 8641 8673 8675 8845 9770 10743 10912 10927 11027 11101 11206 11416 12180 14267 14307 14311 14621 14624 14655 14682 14704 15064 15461 15473 15667 16655 17075 17183 17754 17819 17850 18919 19283 19730 19883 21439 21456 22805 23323 23476 23566 25344 25907 26100 26298 27765 28808 28827 28830 28831 28912 28918 29096 29114 29116 29118 29535 30241 30259 30263 30269 30312 30318 30622 30644 30694 31081 31158 33079 33094 33123 33126 33299 33304 33328 34531 35447 35691 37368 37921 37924 37928 38016 38139 38268 41586 41676 41777 41812 41817 41820 41824 42159 42172 42224 42391 42445 42451 42456 42462 42497 42498 43019 43021 43024 43233 43262 43339 43874 43881 44671 45587 45883 46079 46130 46399 47509 49042https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/646/161?format=asciiInfrareddefaultJ/ApJ/646/161/table3Archival SourcesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
