The questions we wish to address with this work are: What is the shape of the continuum spectrum of an active nucleus? Can we identify thermal and non-thermal components? Previous work on this subject studied different non-overlapping samples in narrow frequency bands. A significant step forward was taken by Malkan and Sargent (1982) who studied the IR (10μm) through UV continuum of a small sample of objects. We report here results for the first part of the study of the complete continuum for a hard X-ray selected sample of 37 Seyfert 1 galaxies. This selection criterion ensures a sample unbiased for optical-IR studies, as the hard X-rays are not affected by reddening (Lawrence and Elvis 1982). The data consist of our own 1–20 μm ground-based IR observations, 100 and 60 μm IRAS fluxes and optical UBVR photometry.
