Dale Mid‐Infrared Spectral Diagnostics of Nuclear and Extranuclear Regions in Nearby Galaxies 2006 30 .pdf application/pdf 9860 1010 76 Mid-infrared diagnostics are presented for a large portion of the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS) sample plus archival data from the Infrared Space Observatory and the Spitzer Space Telescope. low-ionization cooling lines of X-ray dominated regions like [Si II] 34.82 µm can particular show weak PAH and large ratios of high-to-low ionization line emission. The upper panel of Figure 3 uses the 6.2 µm PAH feature and the emission line ratio [O IV]25.89 µm/[Ne II]12.81 µm in a similar mid-infrared diagnostic diagram, [O I]63 µm) has previously been observed emanating from the large "partially-ionized regions" surrounding AGN and infrared-bright galaxies (Veilleux & Osterbrock 1987; Armus, excitation, nearly all of the "pure star-forming" nuclei and extra-nuclear regions show relatively elevated ratios in [S III]33.48 µm/[Si II]34.82 µm (see also Figure 3).
