Abstract

Aims. The aim of this work is to further investigate the nature of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) excitation and emission especially in the context of tracing star formation in a variety of extragalactic environments. Here we turn our attention to the energetic environment of the closest active galactic nucleus (AGN) in our sample, Centaurus A.
