Obscured and Unobscured Active Galactic Nuclei in the <i>Spitzer Space Telescope</i> First Look Survey
Selection of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the infrared facilitates the discovery of AGNs whose optical emission is extinguished by dust.In this paper, we use the Spitzer Space Telescope First Look Survey (FLS) to assess the fraction of AGNs with mid-infrared (MIR) luminosities that are comparable to quasars and that …
