Resolved Mid-Infrared Imaging of AGN: An Isotropic Measure of Intrinsic Power
Abstract
We present a strong correlation between 12μm mid-IR and intrinsic X-ray (2-10 keV) luminosities of local Seyferts. This work is based on new diffraction-limited mid-IR observations with the 8-m Very Large Telescope (VLT), resulting in the least-contaminated core fluxes of 42 Seyferts to date.
