3C 382 is a flat-spectrum FR II radio source identified with the elliptical galaxy Z 173-14 [martel_hubble_1999] at a redshift of z = 0.0579 (D ~ 267 Mpc). It contains an AGN with a Sy 1 classification [veron-cetty_catalogue_2010] that is a member of the nine-month BAT AGN sample. 3C 382 features supergalactic-scale biconical radio lobes with a prominent jet extending to the north-eastern lobe (PA~ 50∘; e.g., [black_study_1992]). The first N-band photometry of 3C 382 was performed in 1980 [puschell_visual-infrared_1981], followed by [heckman_infrared_1983] and [impey_infrared_1990]. The MIR emission level has monotonically increased over the last few decades. The ISO/ISOCAM photometry from 1996 provides a ~ 50% higher flux than that from 1980 [clavel_2.5-11_2000, siebenmorgen_isocam_2004, ramos_almeida_mid-infrared_2007]. The Spitzer/IRS, IRAC and MIPS data taken in 2005 again exhibits ~ 50% higher fluxes (see [dicken_origin_2010] for MIPS 24 μm). 3C 382 is nearly unresolved in all Spitzer images. The IRS LR staring-mode spectrum shows strong silicate emission features and a blue spectral slope in νFν-space but no PAH or other line emission (see also [dicken_spitzer_2012]). Our COMICS N11.7 observation from 2009 shows an unresolved nuclear source, and the corresponding nuclear photometry is ~ 4% higher and, thus, is still consistent with the Spitzer spectrophotometry. Therefore, the silicate emission originates in the projected subarcsecond-scale nucleus, and thermal dust emission contributes significantly to the nuclear MIR emission. We correct our 12 μm continuum emission estimate for the strong silicate emission using the IRS spectrum.
