cds-question@unistra.fractive-galactic-nucleigalaxiesinfrared-sourcesspectroscopyinfrared-astronomyWe used Spitzer/Infrared Spectrograph spectroscopic data on 426 galaxies including quasars, Seyferts, LINERs, and HII galaxies to investigate the relationship among the mid-IR emission lines. There is a tight linear correlation between the [NeV]14.3um and 24.3um (97.1eV) and the [OIV]25.9um (54.9eV) high-ionization emission lines. The correlation also holds for these high-ionization emission lines and the [NeIII]15.56um (41eV) emission line, although only for active galaxies. We used these correlations to calculate the [NeIII] excess due to star formation in Seyfert galaxies. We also estimated the [OIV] luminosity due to star formation in active galaxies and determined that it dominates the [OIV] emission only if the contribution of the active nucleus to the total luminosity is below 5%. We find that the active galactic nucleus dominates the [OIV] emission in most Seyfert galaxies, whereas star formation adequately explains the observed [OIV] emission in optically classified HII galaxies. Finally, we computed photoionization models to determine the physical conditions of the narrow-line region where these high-ionization lines originate. The estimated ionization parameter range is -2.8<logU<-2.5 and the total hydrogen column density range is 20<logn_H_(cm^-2^)<21.2010ApJ...725.2270Phttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/725/2270CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVII/157 : The Extended 12um galaxy sample (Rush+ 1993)J/MNRAS/414/500 : Spitzer/IRS ATLAS project source (Hernan-Caballero+, 2011)J/ApJ/719/1191 : Mid-IR indicators of SF and AGN in galaxies (Treyer+, 2010)J/ApJ/723/895 : IR luminosities and aromatic features of 5MUSES (Wu+, 2010)J/ApJ/709/1257 : Spitzer-IRS spectra of Seyfert galaxies (Tommasin+, 2010)J/ApJ/693/1821 : The Spitzer infrared nearby galaxies survey (Dale+, 2009)J/ApJS/182/628 : Spitzer quasar and ULIRG evolution study (Veilleux+, 2009)J/MNRAS/398/1165 : AGN in nearby galaxies (Goulding+, 2009)J/ApJS/184/230 : Spitzer high-resolution MIR spectral atlas (Bernard-Salas+,J/ApJ/701/1123 : MIR spectroscopic catalog of 150 galaxies (Dasyra+, 2009)J/ApJ/705/14 : Seyfert galaxies in the mid-IR (Deo+, 2009)J/ApJ/658/778 : Spitzer mid-IR spectroscopy of z~2 ULIRGs (Yan+, 2007)J/ApJS/112/315 : Spectroscopic parameters of Seyfert nuclei (Ho+ 1997)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/725/2270https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/725/2270http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/725/2270https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/725/2270https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/725/2270http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/725/2270GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJ/725/2270/table1 (Sample and mid-infrared emission line fluxes)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/725/2270/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/725/2270/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/725/2270/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true1.5812520.2027780.0055555555555555566/226 245 629 650 764 909 941 1008 1701 1703 1918 2125 2211 2251 2282 2309 2320 2372 2409 2518 2564 2687 3389 3506 3824 4439 4447 4488 4511 4993 5091 5116 5181 5182 5284 5379 5469 5492 5572 5581 5589 5715 5751 5799 5975 5982 5995 6034 6042 6075 6093 6098 6348 6618 6977 7132 7214 7225 7241 7374 7424 7550 7552 7602 7606 7642 7659 7713 7743 7769 7777 7869 7888 7921 7998 8017 8085 8106 8266 8299 8410 8482 8492 8528 8641 8673 8675 8845 8922 9018 9084 9133 9194 9770 9882 9894 9895 10039 10086 10162 10210 10217 10281 10364 10404 10432 10454 10465 10472 10475 10487 10628 10637 10691 10743 10752 10761 10817 10841 10856 10901 10905 10912 10927 10977 10991 11000 11027 11029 11101 11180 11206 11246 11263 11375 11434 11457 11490 11551 11667 11668 11829 11832 11933 11961 12047 12180 12306 12380 12619 13120 13496 13522 13632 15064 15323 15592 15955 16441 16595 16655 16712 16740 16882 17061 17075 17183 17264 17506 17525 17529 17594 17612 17748 17754 17755 17819 17850 18212 18365 18387 18398 18432 18524 18683 18769 18783 18809 18932 19070 19283 19315 19433 19611 19619 19730 19746 19883 20000 20060 20118 20254 20262 20489 21016 21362 21416 22468 22632 22638 22654 23075 23148 23171 23178 23233 23323 23476 23566 24584 24750 24896 24958 25054 25083 25135 25518 25561 25610 25742 25772 25790 25890 25907 25946 25965 26087 26148 26175 26198 26267 26271 26292 26310 26338 26491 26509 26540 26811 26902 26932 26937 27030 27191 27349 27502 27512 27514 27555 27704 27721 27765 27767 27830 27861 27862 27914 27918 27936 27937 27938 27945 27947 28015 28035 28039 28060 28074 28123 28141 28164 28167 28184 28254 28304 28393 28495 28496 28517 28535 28999 29439 29795 29937 30008 30879 31081 31158 31258 31259 31267 31303 31998 32930 32931 33034 33228 33242 33325 33958 33986 34099 34272 34273 34294 34343 34361 34404 34471 34493 34531 34534 35447 35602 35623 35691 35993 36194 36241 36457 36618 36660 36668 36716 36831 36861 36974 36990 37506 37559 38139 38268 38273 38390 38703 38704 38814 38868 38924 38946 39201 39836 39960 40221 40410 40468 41586 41982 42016 42027 43107 43233 43262 43339 43389 43420 43677 43748 43806 43845 43877 43881 43925 44448 44507 44626 44660 44671 45385 45587 45732 45735 45748 45779 45816 45883 46079 46130 46192 46399 46442 46481 46513 46615 46811 46882 46987 47047 47078 47162 47169 47235 47415 47509 48759 49042https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/725/2270?format=asciiInfrareddefaultJ/ApJ/725/2270/table1Sample and mid-infrared emission line fluxesSimbadNameSimbad column added by the CDSmeta.idcharRefReference (4)meta.ref;pos.frameintl_OIVLimit flag OIVmeta.code.errorcharrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
