Abstract

The correlation between the soft X-ray and near infrared emission from AGN is analysed using composite models by the code SUMA. We find new evidences for differences in ranges of parameters which characterize the NLR of Seyfert galaxies and LINERs. Results obtained by modelling the Einstein and the ROSAT samples of galaxies are in full agreement. In order to fit the infrared and X-ray continua, an eta factor is defined, which accounts for the emitting area of the cloud. If the infrared emission is due to bremsstrahlung and comes from the same cloud producing the soft X-rays, the eta values obtained from both emissions must be the same. Therefore, if eta_IR < eta_soft-X there must be a strong contribution of soft X-rays from the active centre. From the eta values we expect to identify the objects that could present strong variability. \
