MID-INFRARED SELECTION OF ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI WITH THE<i>WIDE-FIELD INFRARED SURVEY EXPLORER</i>. II. PROPERTIES OF<i>WISE</i>-SELECTED ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI IN THE NDWFS BOÖTES FIELD

Stern et al.(2012) presented a study of WISE selection of AGN in the 2 deg^2 COSMOS field, finding that a simple criterion W1-W2>=0.8 provides a highly reliable and complete AGN sample for W2<15.05, where the W1 and W2 passbands are centered at 3.4 and 4.6 microns, respectively. Here we extend …
