The data cubes map, at least, the central 20 arcsec � 20 arcsec to 30 arcsec � 30 arcsec regions of the galaxies, and use all four IRS modules covering the full 5–38 lm spectral range. The IRS data are used to obtain spatially resolved measurements of the extinction using the 9:7 lm silicate feature, and to trace star forming regions using the neon lines and the PAH features. We also investigate a number of active galactic nuclei (AGN) indicators, including the presence of high excitation emission lines and a We finally use the integrated Spitzer/IRS spectra as templates of local LIRGs. We discuss several possible uses for these templates, including the calibration of the star formation rate of IR-bright galaxies at high redshift. ./cache/work_mt4o2ktwjzdgnbh5krlv3jcd5u.pdf ./txt/work_mt4o2ktwjzdgnbh5krlv3jcd5u.txt
