The application of multi-wavelength selection techniques is crucial for discovering a complete and unbiased set of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). Here, we select a sample of 72 AGN candidates in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) using deep…

We describe a uniform all-sky survey of bright blazars, selected primarily by their flat radio spectra, that is designed to provide a large catalog of likely gamma-ray AGN. The defined sample has 1625 targets with radio and X-ray properties…

Modern X-ray telescopes have detected hundreds of thousands of X-ray sources in the universe. However, current methods to classify these sources using the X-ray data themselves suffer problems - detailed X-ray spectroscopy of individual…
