Sasmirala Individual Information for ESO 33-2
Description
ESO 33-2 is a spiral galaxy at a redshift of z = 0.0181 (D ~ 82.3 Mpc) hosting a radio-quiet Sy 2 nucleus [veron-cetty_catalogue_2010]. The [O III] emission is extended by ~ 1.5arcsec ~ 0.6 kpc in the north-south directions (PA~ 5∘; [schmitt_hubble_2003]). After first being detected in the MIR with IRAS, ESO 33-2 was observed with Spitzer/IRAC, IRS and MIPS and appears almost point-like without non-nuclear emission in all corresponding images. IRAC photometry was published by [gallimore_infrared_2010] and agrees with our IRAC 5.8 and 8.0 μm measurements well. The IRS LR mapping-mode spectrum displays weak silicate 10 μm absorption, no significant PAH emission features, and a shallow emission peak at ~ 12 μm in νFν-space (see also [buchanan_spitzer_2006, wu_spitzer/irs_2009, tommasin_spitzer_2008, tommasin_spitzer-irs_2010, gallimore_infrared_2010]). ESO 33-2 was observed in the broad N-band filter with T-ReCS in 2004. A compact nuclear source was detected. The emission is possibly extended (FWHM ~ 0.85arcsec ~ 300 pc), but this has to be verified with at least another epoch of subarcsecond MIR imaging. The measured nuclear flux agrees with the Spitzer spectrophotometry well, but it would be significantly lower if the presence of subarcsecond-extended emission can be verified.

Images
Optical image (DSS, red filter). Displayed are the central 4 arcmin with North being up and East to the left. The colour scaling is linear with white corresponding to the median background (BG) and black to the 0.01% pixels with the highest intensity.
Spitzer MIR images. Displayed are the inner 40 arcsec with North being up and East to the left. The colour scaling is logarithmic with white corresponding to median BG and black to the 0.1% pixels with the highest intensity. The label in the bottom left states instrument and central wavelength of the filter in micron (I: IRAC, M: MIPS).
Subarcsecond-resolution MIR images sorted by increasing filter central wavelength. Displayed are the inner 4 arcsec with North being up and East to the left. The colour scaling is logarithmic with white corresponding to median BG and black to the 75% of the highest intensity of all images in units of sig_bg. The inset image (where present; either bottom or top right) shows the central arcsecond of the PSF from the calibrator star, scaled to match the science target. The labels in the bottom left state instrument and filter names (C: COMICS, M: Michelle, T: T-ReCS, V: VISIR).
SEDs
MIR SED. The description of the symbols in all the SED plots (where present) is the following: Grey crosses and solid lines mark the Spitzer/IRAC, MIPS and IRS data. The colour coding of the other symbols is as follows: green for COMICS, magenta for Michelle, blue for T-ReCS and red for VISIR data. Darker-coloured solid lines mark spectra of the corresponding instrument. The black filled circles mark the nuclear 12 and 18 micron continuum emission estimate from the data (where present). The ticks on the top axis mark positions of common MIR emission lines, while the light grey horizontal bars mark wavelength ranges affected by the silicate 10 and 18 micron features.
