Luminous WISE-selected quasars in SDSS Stripe 82
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present a spectroscopically complete sample of 147 infrared-color-selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) down to a 22{mu}m flux limit of 20mJy over the ~270deg^2^ of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 region.
Description
Most of these sources are in the QSO luminosity regime (Lbol>~10^12^L_{sun}_) and are found out to z~3. We classify the AGNs into three types, finding 57 blue, unobscured Type-1 (broad-lined) sources; 69 obscured, Type-2 (narrow-lined) sources; and 21 moderately reddened Type-1 sources (broad-lined and E(B-V)>0.25).
We study a subset of this sample in X-rays and analyze their obscuration to find that our spectroscopic classifications are in broad agreement with low, moderate, and large amounts of absorption for Type-1, red Type-1, and Type-2 AGNs, respectively. We also investigate how their X-ray luminosities correlate with other known bolometric luminosity indicators such as [OIII] line luminosity (L[OIII]) and infrared luminosity (L6{mu}m).

While the X-ray correlation with L[OIII] is consistent with previous findings, the most infrared-luminous sources appear to deviate from established relations such that they are either underluminous in X-rays or overluminous in the infrared. Finally, we examine the luminosity function evolution of our sample, and by AGN type, in combination with the complementary, infrared-selected, AGN sample of Lacy et al. (2013), spanning over two orders of magnitude in luminosity.
We find that the two obscured populations evolve differently, with reddened Type-1 AGNs dominating the obscured AGN fraction (~30%) for L_5{mu}m_>10^45^erg/s, while the fraction of Type-2 AGNs with L_5{mu}m_<10^45^erg/s rises sharply from 40% to 80% of the overall AGN population.
