Volume-limited LTIR histograms of all galaxies detected at a significance of >3σ in at least one of the three SPIRE bands which are not host to a powerful AGN (black filled histograms) plotted against LTIR histograms of those SPIRE galaxies hosting a powerful AGN (dashed color histograms) for four different redshift bins. The histograms are normalized in such a way that the two histograms in each panel have the same maximum value. The LTIR limit used to construct the volume-limited sample for each redshift bin is shown in each panel along with average errors on LTIR for each subsample. The hosts of powerful AGN are shifted to higher LTIR values than their counterparts whose nuclei are not undergoing a powerful active phase. The difference in the LTIR distributions of the two samples is statistically significant at >3σ for all redshift bins, implying a relationship between the presence of a powerful AGN and a stronger than average starburst event.
