Scientific paper

Results are reported for IR observations of the nuclei of NGC 1275, NGC 4151, Markarian 231, NGC 5195, and NGC 5253 which were made at 34 microns with the NASA 61-inch telescope. The total luminosity of these sources is estimated, and it is found that the total luminosity of Markarian 231 is nearly 10 trillion times that of the sun. It is noted that this power output lies within the luminosity range of quasars.
