Observations and a model for the infrared continuum of Centaurus A

We present ISOSWS, ISOPHOT_S and 8-13 μm observations of Centaurus A which show prominent PAH and silicate features. These and other data are used to construct a model for the infrared continuum. We find that, in a small nuclear aperture (∼4 arcsec, ∼60 pc), the spectral energy distribution is chara...
