Scientific paper

Fifty-three Seyfert galaxies have been observed at 10.6 microns (46 detected or probably detected) and 49 have been measured between 1 and 4 microns. The list of known Seyfert galaxies is biased against infrared bright sources because of an anticorrelation between the strengths of the ultraviolet and infrared excesses. The proportionality between 10 microns and radio fluxes from these sources is confirmed. A number of indirect arguments suggest that the infrared continuum of a number of type 1 galaxies and most type 2 galaxies is predominantly thermal reradiation by dust.
