Sasmirala Individual Information for Mrk 1014

Description

Mrk 1014 is a disturbed face-on ultra-luminous infrared spiral galaxy at a redshift of z = 0.1631 (D ~748 Mpc) with a radio-quiet quasar-type AGN optically classified as a Sy 1.5 [veron-cetty_catalogue_2010]. It features a very extended and complex NLR with two arcsecond (~ 5.4 kpc; PA~ 90^∘; e.g., [bennert_size_2002]) coinciding with the radio emission structure (e.g., [leipski_radio_2006]). After the discovery of its MIR brightness through IRAS, Mrk 1014 was monitored with ground-based N-band photometry [neugebauer_continuum_1987, neugebauer_variability_1999]. It was also observed with ISO in different modes [rigopoulou_large_1999, sturm_mid-infrared_2002, haas_iso_2003] and Spitzer/IRAC and IRS. Mark 1014 appears point-like in all corresponding images, while the IRS LR staring-mode spectrum shows extremely weak silicate 10 μm emission, weak PAH features and a red slope in νF_ν-space (see also [armus_observations_2004, armus_observations_2007, farrah_high-resolution_2007, cao_mid-infrared_2008]). Thus, the MIR SED appears AGN-dominated. Mrk 1014 was observed with COMICS in the N11.7 filter in 2006 [imanishi_subaru_2011]. In the image, a marginally resolved and elongated MIR nucleus was detected (FWHM ~ 0.58arcsec ~ 1.9 pc; PA~ 63^∘). However, at least a second epoch of subarcsecond MIR imaging is required to verify this extension. Our measured nuclear N11.7 flux is 25% higher than that of [imanishi_subaru_2011] but consistent with the previous N-band photometry and the Spitzer spectrophotometry. Therefore, we use the IRS spectrum to compute the nuclear 12 μm continuum emission estimate.

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.
