Description
We present spectroscopic results for all galaxies observed with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) that also have total infrared fluxes f_IR_ measured with the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), also using AKARI photometry when available. Infrared luminosities and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from 8um to 160um are compared to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission from starburst galaxies or mid-infrared dust continuum from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at rest-frame wavelengths ~8um. A total of 301 spectra are analyzed for which IRS and IRAS include the same unresolved source, as measured by the ratio f_{nu}_(IRAS 25um)/f_{nu}_(IRS 25um). Sources have 0.004<z<0.34 and 42.5<logL_IR_<46.8(erg/s) and cover the full range of starburst galaxy and AGN classifications.
