Luminosity functions and quasar lifetimes in a sample of mid-IR selected quasars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2021
Abstract
We have made a spectroscopic survey of luminous AGNs and quasars selected in the mid-infrared from Spitzer IRAC surveys. Mid-infrared selection is less affected by dust obscuration, and we find more high redshift quasars than are found in optical or hard X-ray surveys. We have derived luminosity functions for obscured and unobscured quasar populations, and we use these and spectral energy distribution fits to place constraints on host galaxy properties and quasar lifetimes.
