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
Daniel Stern,Roberto J. Assef,Dominic J. Benford,Andrew Blain,Roc M. Cutri,Arjun Dey,Peter Eisenhardt,Roger L. Griffith,Thomas H. Jarrett,Sean E. Lake,Frank J. Masci,Sara Petty,S. A. Stanford,S. A. Stanford,Chao-Wei Tsai,Edward L. Wright,Lin Yan,Fiona A. Harrison,Kristin K. Madsen +18 more
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

Thomas H. Jarrett,Martin Cohen,Frank J. Masci,Edward L. Wright,Daniel Stern,Dominic J. Benford,Andrew Blain,Sean Carey,Roc M. Cutri,Peter Eisenhardt,C. Lonsdale,A. K. Mainzer,K. A. Marsh,D. Padgett,Sara Petty,Michael E. Ressler,Mike Skrutskie,S. A. Stanford,Jason Surace,Chao-Wei Tsai,S. Wheelock,D. L. Yan +21 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out a survey of the north and south ecliptic poles, EP-N and EP-S, respectively, with the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).
Journal ArticleDOI
Mid-Infrared Selection of AGN with the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer. I. Characterizing WISE-Selected AGN in COSMOS
Daniel Stern,Roberto J. Assef,Dominic J. Benford,Andrew Blain,Roc M. Cutri,Arjun Dey,Peter Eisenhardt,Roger L. Griffith,Thomas H. Jarrett,Sean E. Lake,Frank J. Masci,Sara Petty,S. A. Stanford,Chao-Wei Tsai,Edward L. Wright,Lin Yan,Fiona A. Harrison,Kristin K. Madsen +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple mid-infrared color criterion, W1-W2 \geq 0.8 (i.e., [3.4]-[4.6], was presented, which identifies 61.9 \pm 5.4 AGN candidates per deg2 to a depth of W2 = 15.0.
