Scientific paper

Using Spitzer-infrared spectrograph (IRS) spectroscopy, we investigate the ubiquity of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in a complete (~94%), volume-limited sample of the most bolometrically luminous galaxies [LIR,8-1000um>=(0.3-20)x1010^L&sun;] to D<15Mpc. Our analyses are based on the detection of the high-excitation emission line [NeV](λ14.32μm) (97.1eV) to unambiguously identify AGN activity. We find that 17 of the 64 infrared (IR) bright galaxies in our sample host AGN activity (~27+86%), >=50t of which are not identified as AGN using optical spectroscopy.
