Scientific paper

The Spitzer high resolution spectra of 80 Seyfert galaxies from the 12um Galaxy Sample are presented and discussed. The presence of starburst components in these galaxies can be quantified by powerful mid-IR diagnostics tools (i.e. 11.25 micron PAH feature equivalent width and the H_2 emission line intensity) as well as the AGN dominance can be measured by specific fine structure line ratios (e.g. [NeV]/[NeII], [NeV]/[SiII], etc.). Molecular masses from the H_2 lines and density estimates from the NeV and SIII doublet ratios are derived from the spectra. The results are discussed in the light of unification and evolution models.
