TL;DR: The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) as mentioned in this paper is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48 inch Schmidt telescope, which provides a 47 deg^2 field of view and 8 s readout time, yielding more than an order of magnitude improvement in survey speed relative to its predecessor survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obscured and unobscured active galactic nuclei in the Spitzer Space Telescope First Look Survey

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the Spitzer Space Telescope First Look Survey (FLS) to assess the fraction of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with mid-infrared luminosities that are comparable to quasars and that are missed in optical quasar surveys because of dust obscuration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mid-infrared selection of active galactic nuclei with the wide-field infrared survey explorer. i. characterizing wise-selected active galactic nuclei in cosmos

TL;DR: In this article, a simple mid-infrared color criterion, W1 − W2 ≥ 0.8, was proposed to identify active galactic nucleus (AGN) candidates in the COSMOS field.
Journal ArticleDOI
