ISOCAM survey and dust models of 3CR radio galaxies and quasars
  We present a survey of all 3CR sources imaged with ISOCAM onboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). For the source, we present spatially integrated mid--infrared (MIR, 5 - 18mic.) fluxes measured from newly calibrated ISOCAM images. In total, we detected 68 AGN of the 3CR catalogue, at redshifts z < 2.5. The one with the highest redshift is 4C+72.26 at z = 3.53. ISOCAM data are combined with other photometric measurements to construct the spectral energy distribution (SED) from optical to radio wavelengths. In order to describe dust emission we apply new radiative transfer models. By varying three parameters, luminosity, effective size and extinction, we obtain a fit to the SED for our objects. In the MIR the hot dust component is mainly due to small grains and PAHs. In the models, a type 1 AGN is represented by a compact dust distribution, the dust is therefore very warm and emission of PAHs is weak because of photo--destruction. In AGNs of type 2, the dust is relatively colder but PAH bands are strong.
