Seyfert galaxies in the local universe provide a unique opportunity to map the transition and feedback between the active nucleus and starburst activity within the host galaxy. We propose to observe the nearby Seyfert galaxies NGC~1068 and NGC~1365 with high-resolution IRS spectra extending from the nucleus through their starburst rings, with spatial resolution of ˜200 pc. The total time requested for this program is 14.3~hrs. The goals of this proposal are to map the zone of influence of the AGN and measure the conditions in the ISM from the nucleus throughout the inner disk and starburst rings. To what extent are star forming regions with bright PAH emission being illuminated by the AGNs? Where is shocked molecular gas observed? This program will provide the first comprehensive analysis of mid-infrared spectral diagnostics at high spatial and spectra resolution throughout the inner ~2 kpc regions in two Seyfert galaxies with circumnuclear starburst rings.
