Abstract:
    We use mid-infrared spectral decomposition to separate the 6µm
    mid-infrared AGN continuum from the host emission in the ISO low
    resolution spectra of 71 active galaxies and compare the results to
    observed and intrinsic 2-10keV hard X-ray fluxes from the literature.

Description:
    The 6µm flux refers to the AGN continuum exclusively and is
    derived from ISO low resolution spectra. Most of the spectra are from
    a rereduction of chopped ISOPHOT-S spectra of galactic nuclei in the
    ISO archive (Spoon et al. 2004, in preparation). Hard X-ray data have
    been taken from the references listed.

Note (1): Notes:
    1: Uncertain type classification, see appendix.
    2: `Elusive' AGN without NLR detection but listed as type 2 according
       to the X-ray properties.
    3: Stellar continuum may contribute a large part of the measured
       6µm continuum
    4: Assuming negligible absorption for Type 1 objects without NH
       measurement.
    5: Intrinsic flux cannot be recovered for Type 2 objects without NH
       measurement or with lower limits to NH.
