“…The "Seyfert and star formation Activity in the Far-Infrared" (SAFIR) project is aimed at studying the physical nature of the nuclear IR emission and star formation properties of a small sample of nearby Seyfert galaxies observed with the PACS and SPIRE instruments on board the Herschel space observatory. In this paper, we review the achieved results, that reveal the importance of the far-IR range to improve the quality and reliability of the estimates of basic AGN torus parameters, and describe some preliminary outcome from the on-going work on the dust properties of resolved AGN host galaxies.…”

Extragalactic X-ray discrete sources by L. V. Zadorozhna, A. V. Tugay, S. Yu. Shevchenko

“…X-ray sources outside our galaxy are the other galaxies – normal galaxies, radio galaxies, quasars, blazars, Seyfert galaxies, as well as extended sources in galaxy clusters – the glow of cluster's halo. X-ray space observatory's equipment reach a high level of angular separation that allow to discern the individual sources within the galaxies nearest to us. …”

Neptune's atmospheric composition from AKARI infrared spectroscopy by Fletcher, L, Drossart, P, Burgdorf, M, Orton, G, Encrenaz, T

“…The globally-averaged stratospheric temperature structure is quasi-isothermal between 1-1000 μbar, which suggests little variation in global stratospheric conditions since studies by the Infrared Space Observatory a decade earlier. The derived CH4 mole fraction of (9.0 ± 3.0)× 10-4 at 50 mbar, decreasing to (0.9 ± 0.3)× 10-4 at 1 μbar, is larger than that expected if the tropopause at 56 K acts as an efficient cold trap, but consistent with the hypothesis that CH4 leaking through the warm south polar tropopause (62-66 K) is globally redistributed by stratospheric motion. …”
