Three-year swift-bat survey of active galactic nuclei: reconciling theory and observations?*
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived and analyzed the absorption distribution of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) using a complete sample of AGNs detected by Swift-BAT in the first three years of the survey and showed that the real intrinsic fraction of Compton-thick AGNs is 20+9 −6%.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported on the measurement of the physical properties (rest-frame K-band luminosity and total stellar mass) of the hosts of 89 broad-line (type-1) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected in the zCOSMOS survey in the redshift range 1 < z < 2.
