Properties of the New 2MASS AGN
LK- Redshift Distribution
- Type 2 AGN lower luminosity
- As expected, IR survey finds highest IR-luminosity objects
- But some optical surveys (e.g. Hamburg/ESO) sample similar Ks-luminosity range
- Ks luminosity function (S 1/Vmax)
- Local space density of 2MASS type 1 AGN comparable to optical/UV selected QSOs at intermediate luminosities
- Drop-off at highest luminosity due to redshift bias (fewer high-z objects in 2MASS sample)
