Descripción
We have employed a reliable technique of classification of active
galactic nuclei (AGNs) based on the fit of well sampled spectral energy
distributions (SEDs) with a complete set of AGN and starburst galaxy
templates. We have compiled UV, optical, and IR data for a sample of 116
AGNs originally selected for their X-ray and mid-IR emissions (96 with
single detections and 20 with double optical counterparts). This is the
most complete compilation of multiwavelength data for such a large
sample of AGN in the Extended Groth Strip. Through these SEDs, we are
able to obtain highly reliable photometric redshifts and to distinguish
between pure and host-dominated AGNs. For the objects with unique
detection we find that they can be separated into five main groups,
namely: Starburst-dominated AGNs (24% of the sample),
Starburst-contaminated AGNs (7%), Type-1 AGNs (21%), Type-2 AGNs (24%),
and Normal galaxy hosting AGN (24%). We find these groups concentrated
at different redshifts: Type-2 AGNs and Normal galaxy hosting AGNs are
concentrated at low redshifts, whereas Starburst-dominated AGNs and
Type-1 AGNs show a larger span. Correlations between hard/soft X-ray and
UV, optical and IR luminosities are reported for the first time for such
a sample of AGNs spanning a wide range of redshifts. For the 20 objects
with double detection, the percentage of Starburst-dominated AGNs
increases up to 48%.
