Median and 16th–84th range of mid-IR intensities in the diffuse ISM (red), H II region (blue), and central components (yellow) at 7.7, 10, 11.3, and 21 μm. AGN-classified galaxies (see Table 1 for AGN classification) are represented with diamonds. Targets are arranged in decreasing order of SFR from top to bottom. The overall brightness of both the disk and centers generally increases with SFR. The H II regions and centers (“bright” regions) show a significantly larger dynamical range of intensities at 21 μm.
