The best current infrared quasar spectral energy distribution (SED) templates (e.g. Polletta et al. 2007) rely on statistically limited samples, in the tens of objects. In contrast, the Spitzer Source List and the Spitzer Archival Far-IR Extragalactic Survey (SAFIRES) provide data in seven bands, ranging in wavelength from 3 to 160 microns, for thousands of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic quasars.
Using these data and the Bayesian eigenspectra template reconstruction approach described in Budav´ri et al. (2001), we generate a more representative set of mid-infrared quasar templates than were previously feasible. Here we present our results, based on all quasars identified in the Spitzer Source List.
