cds-question@unistra.frquasarsinfrared-photometryinfrared-astronomyspectroscopyredshiftedline-intensitiesAs a step toward a comprehensive overview of the infrared (IR) diagnostics of the central engines and host galaxies of quasars at low redshift, we present Spitzer Space Telescope spectroscopic (5-40{mu}m) and photometric (24, 70, and 160{mu}m) measurements of all Palomar-Green (PG) quasars at z<0.5 and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) quasars at z<0.3. We supplement these data with Herschel measurements at 160{mu}m. The sample is composed of 87 optically selected PG quasars and 52 near-IR-selected 2MASS quasars. Here we present the data, measure the prominent spectral features, and separate emission due to star formation from that emitted by the dusty circumnuclear torus. We find that the mid-IR (5-30{mu}m) spectral shape for the torus is largely independent of quasar IR luminosity with scatter in the spectral energy distribution (SED) shape of <~0.2dex. Except for the silicate features, no large difference is observed between PG (unobscured --silicate emission) and 2MASS (obscured --silicate absorption) quasars. Only mild silicate features are observed in both cases. When in emission, the peak wavelength of the silicate feature tends to be longer than 9.7{mu}m, possibly indicating effects on grain properties near the active galactic nucleus. The IR color is shown to correlate with the equivalent width of the aromatic features, indicating that the slope of the quasar mid- to far-IR SED is to first order driven by the fraction of radiation from star formation in the IR bands.2014ApJS..214...23Shttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/214/23CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/246 : 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri+ 2003)II/241 : 2MASS Catalog Incremental Data Release (IPAC/UMass, 2000)II/207 : Palomar-Green catalog UV-excess stellar objects (Green+ 1986)J/ApJS/206/1 : MIR properties of GOALS nearby LIRGs (Stierwalt+, 2013)J/MNRAS/414/500 : Spitzer/IRS ATLAS project source (Hernan-Caballero+, 2011)J/ApJ/723/895 : IR luminosities and aromatic features of 5MUSES (Wu+, 2010)J/ApJS/182/628 : Spitzer quasar and ULIRG evolution study (Veilleux+, 2009)J/MNRAS/395/1695 : Spitzer MIR spectroscopy of LIRGs (Hernan-Caballero+, 2009)J/ApJ/692/556 : Star forming galaxy templates (Rieke+, 2009)J/ApJ/666/806 : SED of Spitzer quasars (QUEST) (Netzer+, 2007)J/ApJ/656/770 : Mid-IR spectrum of star-forming galaxies (Smith+, 2007)J/MNRAS/382/412 : Catalog of SDSS-DR5/2MASS spectroscopic quasars (Ofek, 2007)J/ApJ/653/127 : 9.7um silicate features in AGNs (Shi+, 2006)J/ApJS/166/470 : SDSS-Spitzer type I QSOs IR photometry (Richards+, 2006)J/AJ/130/873 : BQS objects in the SDSS DR3 area (Jester+, 2005)J/ApJ/625/78 : QSOs properties (Hao+, 2005)J/ApJ/569/23 : Optical polarisation of 2MASS QSOs (Smith+, 2002)J/ApJS/95/1 : Atlas of Quasar Energy Distributions (Elvis+ 1994)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/214/23https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/214/23http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/214/23https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/214/23https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/214/23http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/214/23GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJS/214/23/sample (IR photometry and measured features of the PG/2MASS (tables 1, 2 and 4))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/214/23/sample?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/214/23/sample?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/214/23/sample?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true1.496833316.16361110.0055555555555555566/236 269 530 647 2184 2216 4215 4405 4443 4469 4472 4495 4506 4536 4545 5091 5244 5333 5437 5481 5576 5687 5731 6028 6511 6593 7246 7998 8017 8071 8299 8420 8528 8590 8597 8612 8635 8636 8641 8791 8845 8881 8889 8893 8906 8927 8941 8943 8973 9018 9019 9181 9194 9223 9246 9262 9959 10039 10162 10217 10269 10472 10578 10691 10694 10709 11217 11354 11388 11668 11829 11924 12317 12380 12631 12632 17819 18127 18918 19287 19315 19416 19419 19433 19567 19637 19672 19678 19688 19700 19730 19746 19767 19804 19830 19883 19932 19959 19966 20015 20137 20218 25403 25735 25742 25965 26292 26310 26509 26572 26736 26859 26902 27023 27025 27227 27293 27349 27580 27593 27720 27848 27862 27976 28031 28060 28113 28164 28356 28471 31650 32408 32413 32499 44785 449881.0763920601544068e-21 9.710690472292815e-20https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJS/214/23?format=asciiInfraredOpticaldefaultJ/ApJS/214/23/table3Infrared spectra of the samplerecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
