Scientific paper

We present the results of a recent campaign to inventory and investigate the total aromatic (PAH) emission in the local universe. The Spitzer Space Telescope Local Volume Legacy (LVL) survey has yielded near- and mid-infrared photometry of a volume-complete sample of 250 galaxies within 11 Mpc. We have measured the strength of the aromatic emission features in the 7.7 micron complex for these galaxies using an improved photometric methodology based on the MIPS 24 micron and all four IRAC bands. The reliability of this technique is demonstrated, and aromatic emission strength as a function of environment in the local universe (e.g., galaxy type, star formation intensity, and metallicity) is investigated.
