Cosmic rays heat inner gas clouds in NGC 5728 and boost low-ionization optical and certain mid-IR lines while high-ionization lines remain insensitive, enabling multi-wavelength separation of CR, shock, and metallicity effects.
High CR ionization rates (above 10^-13 s^-1) in AGN and starburst models produce enhanced low-ionization emission that matches observations without super-solar metallicities and suggests revised BPT diagram boundaries.
