Scientific paper

We investigate the obscuration and star formation activity in local AGN by exploiting a large compilation of Spitzer-IRS spectra. In order to avoid biases due to the obscuration itself and to measure the intrinsic luminosity in a homogeneous manner in both, obscured and unobscured objects, we have selected a sample of local AGN observed with Spitzer-IRS having hard X-ray spectra. The analysis of a large sample allows us to investigate the relationship between obscuration, dust covering factor, star formation rate (SFR) and intrinsic luminosity of the AGN.
