Scientific paper

We present mid-infrared spectra of several Seyfert 1 and 2 galaxies. Combined with photometric data (Videla & Lira) we can determine the contribution of the nuclear and stellar components of the center of these galaxies, and in the effect of the dusty torus in the emission of the AGN. This has been done by comparing the spectroscopic data (and photometric data also where available) to theoretical models of radiation transfer of a dusty torus around a central engine, by Nenkova et al. These studies help to constrain the geometrical and physical properties of the torus and also of the stellar components of the nuclear emission.
