The dependency of AGN infrared colour-selection on source luminosity and obscuration
The dependency of AGN infrared colour-selection on source luminosity and obscuration
AIMS. This work addresses the AGN IR-selection dependency on intrinsic source luminosity and obscuration, in order to identify and charaterise biases which could affect conclusions in studies. METHODS. We study IR-selected AGN in the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS) survey and in the Cosmological Survey (COSMOS). The AGN sample is …
