A mid-IR survey of local AGN with GTC/CanariCam
  We describe a mid-infrared (MIR) survey of local AGN to be conducted with the
CanariCam instrument on the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). We will obtain MIR
imaging and spectroscopy of a sample of ~100 AGN covering six orders of
magnitude in AGN luminosity, and including different AGN classes (e.g., LINERs,
Seyfert 1s and 2s, QSO). The main goals are: (1) to test unification of Type 1
and Type 2 AGN, (2) to study the star formation activity around AGN, and (3) to
explore the role of the dusty torus in low-luminosity AGN.
